The Big 12 has scheduled a prime-time matchup between undefeated No. 2 Utah and No. 22 Arizona for Saturday, Nov. 14. The game will kick off at 5:30 p.m. MST at Casino Del Sol Stadium and will be televised on Fox, according to a schedule release from arizonasports.com.
A massive Big 12 showdown
The landscape of the Big 12 shifts significantly this coming Saturday. Arizona hosts a perfect Utah squad in a game that carries immense implications for the conference standings and national rankings.
Utah enters the contest with a 9-0 record and a 6-0 mark in Big 12 play. The Utes climbed to No. 2 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll following a 28-20 victory over No. 9 BYU last weekend.
Arizona arrives at the matchup with a 7-2 overall record and a 4-2 conference standing. The Wildcats are looking to build momentum after a narrow 29-28 comeback win against TCU on Friday.
For the Wildcats, this represents a rare opportunity to challenge the elite tier of college football. This Saturday marks the first time Arizona has faced a top-3 opponent since 2021, when they played No. 3 Oregon.
The stakes for the home crowd in Tucson are historically high. The last time Arizona secured a victory against a No. 2 ranked team was back in 2014 against Oregon.
Big 12 Week 11 television assignments
The conference has finalized the broadcast windows for the majority of its Saturday slate. While the Arizona-Utah game serves as the marquee prime-time event, several other matchups will be distributed across various networks.
Arizona vs. No. 2 Utah next weekend.
Arizona State will travel to face UCF at the Acrisure Bounce House in Orlando. That game is scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. MST kickoff and will air on ESPN2.
The following table outlines the primary Saturday kickoff times and networks for the Big 12 Week 11 schedule:
| Matchup | Kickoff Time (MST) | Television Network |
|---|---|---|
| Cincinnati at Iowa State | 10:00 a.m. | TNT/TruTV |
| Kansas State at TCU | 12:00 p.m. | ESPNU |
| Baylor at BYU | 1:30 p.m. | Fox |
| Arizona State at UCF | 1:30 p.m. | ESPN2 |
| Kansas at West Virginia | 3:30 p.m. | ESPNU |
| Utah at Arizona | 5:30 p.m. | Fox |
| Texas Tech at Oklahoma State | 7:30 p.m. | ESPN |
The concentration of high-stakes games this week places a heavy emphasis on the mid-to-late afternoon windows. For fans in the Southwest, the 5:30 p.m. window provides the central focal point of the weekend.
Utah’s undefeated run has made them a primary target for national broadcasters. By maintaining a perfect record against a difficult Big 12 schedule, they have solidified their position at the top of the poll.
Arizona’s recent victory over TCU demonstrated a capacity for late-game execution. Whether that resilience can hold up against the No. 2 team in the country remains the central question for Saturday night.
Utah at Arizona kicks off at 5:30 p.m. MST on Fox at Casino Del Sol Stadium.
