SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah football team's home game vs. No. 21 Texas Tech in the Big 12 Conference opener on Sept. 20 is set for a 10 a.m. MT kickoff on FOX at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Â
FOX's Big Noon Saturday time slot is a premier TV window on the college football slate, featuring Gus Johnson on play-by-play, Joel Klatt as the analyst and Jenny Taft reporting from the sideline.
Â
"We have no problem playing early in the day; just tell us what time kickoff is and we will be there," Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said. "Our fans are awesome and will show the country the home-field advantage that Rice-Eccles Stadium is known for. Obviously, we'll have a big TV audience in that time slot, so that's great exposure for our program."
Â
FOX Big Noon Saturday games achieved the highest average viewership among all time slots on all networks from 2021-23 — including a high of 6.74 million average viewers in 2023 — and ranked No. 2 in 2024 (5.58M).
Â
The time slot accounted for four of the Top 10 regular season viewership counts in 2024, with a high of 12.3M and an average of 10.15M for those four top broadcasts.
Â
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our football program to play in front of a large TV audience in the Big Noon Saturday time slot on FOX and showcase the energy and atmosphere of Rice-Eccles Stadium," Director of Athletics Mark Harlan said. "Thanks to FOX and the Big 12 for giving us this stage to amplify our incredible football program and this great university. Our awesome fans will be firing up their grills bright and early—they'll just be mixing in some omelets and pancakes on their tailgate menus. We look forward to a fantastic day on campus."
