Territorial Cup kickoff time, TV broadcast to be announced later this week

The kickoff time and television broadcast for Arizona's final game of the regular season, before the Wildcats compete for a bowl for the first time in six years, against rival Arizona State next Saturday will be announced no later than Sunday, the Pac-12 announced Monday morning. 

The Territorial Cup game and the Colorado-Utah game were added to the conference's six-day window. The UA-ASU game in Tempe will either air on Pac-12 Network at 1 p.m. or on ESPN at a time to be announced. 

It's conceivable ESPN would take the Colorado-Utah game, if the Buffaloes beat Washington State this week and keep their bowl hopes alive; plus, the "Coach Prime" effect. Since the Pac-12 Championship Game on Dec. 1 is on ABC, the final live football game on Pac-12 Network this season — and potentially ever — will be No. 20 Notre Dame at Stanford on Nov. 25 at 5 p.m.

If the Territorial Cup game is moved to Pac-12 Network, it would be the eighth game this season the Wildcats have played on the conference's network in the league's final season before 10 teams splinter into their new respective conferences in 2024. Arizona's final home game on Saturday against No. 18 Utah kicks off on Pac-12 Network at 12:30 p.m. 

Arizona snapped a five-game losing skid, which included a 70-7 defeat in 2020, to the Sun Devils last season in Tucson. This season's matchup will be both program's final rivalry matchup as Pac-12 opponents, before they enter the Big 12 with Colorado and Utah.
