Arizona's matchup with No. 23 BYU will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 5 p.m. on ESPN2, the Big 12 announced on Monday.
The Arizona-BYU game will be the Wildcats' second contest on ESPN's family of networks this season. Arizona's Big 12-opening loss to 14th-ranked Iowa State was on ESPN.
Next Saturday will be BYU's first trip to Tucson since the 2018 season, when the Cougars beat the Wildcats in former head coach Kevin Sumlin's first game at Arizona.
Arizona lost to BYU, 41-19, last season in Provo in the first conference matchup between the two teams.
The Wildcats are 12-13-1 all-time against BYU dating back to 1936. Arizona and BYU have matched up as nonconference opponents in recent years. Arizona kicked off the 2016 season against BYU in Glendale, then opened up the Kevin Sumlin era in 2018 with a loss in Tucson. Arizona also started the Jedd Fisch era against BYU in Las Vegas, with the Cougars winning 24-16.
Since Arizona beat BYU in the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl, the Wildcats have lost four straight to the Cougars.
The Wildcats host Oklahoma State at Arizona Stadium on Saturday at noon on TNT, TruTV and HBO Max.
