Kickoff Times And TV Info Announced For First Three Weeks Of 2026 Football Season
May 27, 2026 | Football
The Washington football team will play under the sunshine during its September nonconference schedule this fall as the start times and TV for the Huskies' first three games of the 2026 season were announced today by the Big Ten Conference and its television partners.
Notably, the Boeing Apple Cup vs. Washington State, at Husky Stadium, has been moved back one day, to Sunday, Sept. 6. It will kick off at 1:00 p.m. PT and air nationwide on NBC television.
The following Saturday, Sept. 12, the Huskies will take on Utah State in a 12:30 p.m. PT game on Big Ten Network. The nonconference slate concludes on Saturday, Sept. 19, as Eastern Washington travels across the state for a 4:15 p.m. PT game, also on BTN.
Earlier this spring, the Big Ten already announced the kickoff times and TV for the Huskies' two Friday games in 2026. On the first of those, Friday, Oct. 9, Iowa will travel to Husky Stadium for a 6:00 p.m. PT kickoff on either FOX or FS1.
One week later, the Dawgs will travel to West Lafayette, Ind., to take on Purdue in another Friday night game. That one will kick off at 5:00 p.m. PT and air on FOX.
All remaining kickoff times and TV information will come in-season, generally the Monday 12 days before each game.
