Non-Conference Schedule Breakdown
Three Consecutive Home Openers at Rice-Eccles Stadium
The Utes open the 2026 campaign with three straight home games from September 3 through September 19. This scheduling arrangement provides significant advantages for program momentum, fan engagement, and early-season roster evaluation under first-year head coach Morgan Scalley.
Thursday, September 3, 2026: Idaho Vandals
The season opener against Idaho marks Morgan Scalley’s debut as Utah’s head coach. The Vandals compete in the Big Sky Conference at the FCS level. This matchup serves as a controlled environment for installing offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven’s scheme and evaluating position battles before facing Power Four competition.
Saturday, September 12, 2026: Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas represents the marquee non-conference opponent, bringing SEC competition to Salt Lake City. The Razorbacks last visited Rice-Eccles Stadium in 2010. This game carries significant implications for national perception, College Football Playoff resume building, and recruiting exposure across the Mountain West and Southwest regions.
Arkansas competes in the Southeastern Conference’s Western Division and consistently ranks among the top 40 programs nationally in recruiting class rankings. The altitude factor at Rice-Eccles Stadium (4,657 feet above sea level) historically impacts visiting teams from lower elevations.
Saturday, September 19, 2026: Utah State Aggies
The “Battle of the Brothers” rivalry concludes the non-conference slate. Utah holds a 75-28-4 all-time series advantage over Utah State. The Aggies compete in the Mountain West Conference and represent the third in-state Football Bowl Subdivision program alongside Utah and BYU.
This matchup carries recruiting implications throughout the Wasatch Front region and maintains a 99-year continuous series dating to 1892 with brief interruptions. The 2026 contest marks the final scheduled meeting in the current series agreement.
Big 12 Conference Schedule Analysis
Nine-Game Conference Format Structure
Utah plays nine Big 12 Conference games in 2026, comprising five home contests and four road matchups. The conference schedule begins Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Iowa State and extends through the regular-season finale on November 28 versus West Virginia.
The Big 12 operates on a rotating divisional format where each member faces nine conference opponents annually, with three programs rotating off the schedule each year. In 2026, Utah does not play Arizona State, Texas Tech, or UCF from the expanded 16-team league.
Road Conference Opponents
Saturday, September 26, 2026: at Iowa State
The conference opener at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, represents Utah’s first visit to Iowa State’s campus since joining the Big 12. The Cyclones have posted winning records in six of the past eight seasons under head coach Matt Campbell. Jack Trice Stadium holds 61,500 spectators and ranks among the loudest venues in the conference.
Saturday, October 17, 2026: in Colorado
The renewal of the “Rumble in the Rockies” rivalry takes place at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. Utah and Colorado previously met as Pac-12 Conference members from 2011 through 2023, with Utah holding an 8-5 series advantage during that span. The programs share geographic proximity and compete directly for recruiting prospects across the Mountain Time Zone.
Saturday, October 31, 2026: at Cincinnati
Halloween night in Cincinnati marks Utah’s first-ever regular-season trip to Nippert Stadium. The Bearcats joined the Big 12 in 2023 alongside BYU, Houston, and UCF. Cincinnati posted a 41-7 combined record from 2020 through 2022 in the American Athletic Conference before transitioning to Power Four competition.
Nippert Stadium holds 40,000 spectators and features one of college football’s most distinctive settings, built into the University of Cincinnati campus with limited surrounding parking infrastructure.
Saturday, November 21, 2026: at TCU
The penultimate regular-season game occurs at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU won the Big 12 Championship in 2022 and reached the College Football Playoff National Championship Game that season. The Horned Frogs maintain one of the nation’s top recruiting pipelines from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Home Conference Opponents
Saturday, October 10, 2026: Kansas
Kansas represents the Big 12 home opener following the bye week. The Jayhawks posted a 9-4 record in 2022 but have historically struggled for consistency. This matchup provides an opportunity for Utah to establish conference momentum before the challenging October road swing.
Saturday, October 24, 2026: Houston
Houston visits Rice-Eccles Stadium during a critical mid-season stretch. The Cougars bring high-powered offensive schemes and compete directly with Utah for recruiting prospects in Arizona, Nevada, and California. Houston joined the Big 12 in 2023 after 11 seasons in the American Athletic Conference.
Saturday, November 7, 2026: BYU Cougars
The “Holy War” rivalry returns to Salt Lake City for the first time since 2024. BYU leads the all-time series 61-34-4 across 99 meetings dating to 1896. The rivalry intensified when both programs joined the Big 12 Conference in 2024, ensuring annual matchups after a decade-long hiatus from 2014 through 2023.
This game carries the highest ticket demand of any Utah home contest and generates significant national television ratings. The religious and cultural dimensions of the rivalry extend beyond athletic competition, reflecting the broader relationship between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (of which BYU is the flagship university) and the secular public university environment at Utah.
Saturday, November 28, 2026: West Virginia
The regular-season finale features West Virginia on Senior Day at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The Mountaineers represent the Big 12’s easternmost geographic member, located in Morgantown, West Virginia. This concluding conference matchup could carry bowl eligibility or College Football Playoff implications, depending on season performance.
Morgan Scalley Era Begins: Coaching Transition Context
From Defensive Coordinator to Head Coach
Morgan Scalley assumes head coaching duties after 17 seasons as Utah’s defensive coordinator under Kyle Whittingham from 2008 through 2024, with a one-year suspension in 2020. Scalley played safety for Utah from 1999 through 2004 and earned All-Mountain West Conference honors.
Whittingham retired in December 2025 after 20 seasons as head coach, compiling a 155-64 record, 23 conference championships across the Mountain West and Pac-12, and 13 bowl victories. Scalley’s promotion maintains program continuity while representing the first leadership change since 2005.
Coaching Staff Changes
Kevin McGiven joins as offensive coordinator after serving in the same role at San Diego State from 2021 through 2024. McGiven replaces Andy Ludwig, who followed Whittingham into retirement. The offensive scheme transition emphasizes tempo-based spread concepts compared to Ludwig’s traditional power-running approach.
The defensive coordinator position remains unchanged, with Scalley delegating those duties while overseeing the entire program. Special teams coordinator Jay Hill continues in his role after seven seasons with the program.
First-Year Head Coach Success Rates
Historical data shows first-year head coaches at established Power Four programs average 7.2 wins when promoted from within the same program, compared to 6.4 wins for external hires. Scalley’s 17-year institutional knowledge, existing recruiting relationships, and defensive coordinator experience position him favorably for a smooth transition.
Programs that maintained defensive coordinators as head coaches include Alabama (Nick Saban), Georgia (Kirby Smart), and Ohio State (Jim Knowles), though each followed different trajectories. The 2026 season provides Scalley’s first opportunity to establish his leadership identity independent of Whittingham’s legacy.
Rice-Eccles Stadium Information
Venue Capacity and Recent Renovations
Rice-Eccles Stadium holds 51,444 spectators following the Ken Garff Red Zone expansion completed between 2018 and 2021. The renovation increased capacity from the previous 45,807 and added premium seating areas, club spaces, and upgraded concession facilities.
The stadium sits at an elevation of 4,657 feet above sea level, which impacts visiting teams’ conditioning and performance, particularly in late-game situations. The venue has hosted Utah football since 1998, replacing the original Rice Stadium, built in 1927.
Seven Home Games in 2026
The 2026 schedule features seven home contests, matching the maximum allowed under NCAA regulations for schools playing 12 regular-season games. This home scheduling advantage provides significant financial benefits through ticket sales, concessions revenue, and reduced travel expenses.
Home opponents include Idaho, Arkansas, Utah State, Kansas, Houston, BYU, and West Virginia. The three-game opening homestand from September 3 through September 19 represents the first time Utah has opened with three consecutive home games since 2018.
Seating Sections and Accessibility
Rice-Eccles Stadium operates five primary seating areas: the Ken Garff Red Zone (student section), East Upper and Lower sections, West Upper and Lower sections, and South End Zone seating. Premium seating options include the Rice-Eccles Club, Loge Boxes, and Field Club seats with climate-controlled access.
The stadium meets ADA accessibility requirements with designated wheelchair seating throughout all levels, accessible restroom facilities, and elevator access to upper sections. Companion seating is available adjacent to all wheelchair locations.
Rivalry Games and Historic Matchups
Holy War: Utah vs BYU
The Utah-BYU rivalry spans 99 meetings from 1896 through 2025, with BYU holding a 61-34-4 series advantage. The rivalry paused from 2014 through 2023 when Utah competed in the Pac-12 while BYU remained independent. Both programs’ entry into the Big 12 Conference in 2024 restored the annual series.
The November 7, 2026, matchup at Rice-Eccles Stadium represents the 100th meeting between the programs. Ticket demand for Holy War games consistently exceeds available capacity, with secondary market prices averaging 250 percent above face value based on 2024 and 2025 data.
The rivalry carries cultural significance beyond athletic competition, reflecting religious divisions between the predominantly LDS community surrounding BYU in Provo and the secular state university environment in Salt Lake City. Television ratings for Holy War games average 2.8 million viewers, ranking among the top five most-watched games annually in the Mountain Time Zone.
Battle of the Brothers: Utah vs Utah State
Utah faces Utah State on Saturday, September 19, 2026, in the 103rd meeting of the “Battle of the Brothers” rivalry. Utah holds a 75-28-4 all-time series advantage and has won 18 consecutive meetings since Utah State’s last victory in 2012.
The rivalry originated in 1892, making it one of college football’s longest continuous series among public institutions. Utah State competes in the Mountain West Conference and plays home games at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah, which holds 25,513 spectators.
Rumble in the Rockies: Utah vs Colorado
The Colorado matchup on Saturday, October 17, 2026, renews a rivalry that developed during both programs’ time in the Pac-12 Conference from 2011 through 2023. Utah posted an 8-5 record against Colorado during that span, including victories in six of the final eight meetings.
The programs share geographic proximity in the Mountain West region and compete directly for recruiting prospects throughout Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. Both teams transitioned to the Big 12 Conference in 2024 as part of the league’s westward expansion.
Big 12 Conference Championship Implications
Path to Arlington
The Big 12 Championship Game occurs Thursday, December 4, 2026, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The conference does not operate divisions; instead selecting the top two teams by conference winning percentage to compete for the championship.
Tiebreaker procedures apply when multiple teams finish with identical conference records, prioritizing head-to-head results, record against common opponents, and overall winning percentage. Utah’s 2026 conference schedule includes matchups against four teams that finished in the top half of the 2025 Big 12 standings: Iowa State, Colorado, Kansas State, and TCU.
College Football Playoff Considerations
The 12-team College Football Playoff format awards automatic bids to the five highest-ranked conference champions. Big 12 champion receives guaranteed playoff access regardless of final ranking, while at-large bids are available for additional conference members based on College Football Playoff Committee rankings.
Utah’s non-conference schedule strength—specifically the Arkansas matchup—provides resume-building opportunities for playoff consideration. The November 7 BYU game and November 21 road contest at TCU represent critical late-season tests that influence playoff committee evaluation.
Historical data from the 2024 and 2025 seasons show Big 12 teams require a minimum 10-2 regular-season record to secure playoff positioning without winning the conference championship. Utah’s scheduling advantages (seven home games, early-season bye week positioning) align favorably with playoff contention scenarios.
Ticket Information and Pricing
Season Ticket Packages
Season ticket packages for the 2026 season include all seven home games at Rice-Eccles Stadium: Idaho, Arkansas, Utah State, Kansas, Houston, BYU, and West Virginia. Pricing tiers range from $399 to $1,299 per seat, depending on seating location and donation requirements to the Crimson Club athletic support fund.
Premium seating options require annual Crimson Club donations ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 per seat, in addition to ticket face value. Rice-Eccles Club memberships include a climate-controlled indoor space, premium food and beverage service, and chairback seating with optimal sightlines.
Single-Game Ticket Availability
Single-game tickets typically become available for purchase in July or August 2026, following television schedule announcements and kickoff time confirmations. Pricing varies by opponent, with premium games (Arkansas, BYU) commanding higher face values compared to non-conference or mid-tier conference matchups.
The BYU game on November 7 represents the highest-demand contest, with expected pricing ranging from $85 to $350 per seat based on 2024 and 2025 Holy War pricing structures. Secondary market ticket availability through authorized resale platforms provides additional purchasing options once initial allocations sell out.
Student Ticket Access
University of Utah students access football tickets through the MUSS (Mighty Utah Student Section) program. Student tickets cost $180 for the seven-game home season, with seating located in the Ken Garff Red Zone student section on the east side of Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Television and Streaming Information
Big 12 Broadcasting Partners
The Big 12 Conference maintains television agreements with ESPN, ABC, and FOX Sports for the 2026 season. Games are distributed across ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, FOX, and FS1 networks based on competitive matchup quality, national rankings, and television market considerations.
ESPN holds exclusive rights to the Big 12 Championship Game broadcast. Streaming access is available through ESPN+ for select regular-season contests not carried on linear television networks. Specific game assignments are announced 6 to 12 days in advance for most regular-season matchups, with premium games receiving earlier broadcast window confirmations.
Expected Primetime Showcases
Based on 2024 and 2025 scheduling patterns, the BYU game on November 7, the Arkansas matchup on September 12, and the Colorado road contest on October 17 represent the most likely candidates for primetime television windows (7:00 PM or later kickoff times in the Mountain Time Zone).
Big 12 Conference contracts guarantee each member institution a minimum of two nationally televised appearances per season on ABC or FOX broadcast networks, with additional ESPN/ESPN2 exposure for remaining games. Utah’s Mountain Time Zone location presents scheduling challenges for East Coast primetime slots (8:00 PM ET) due to late local kickoff times (6:00 PM MT).
Travel and Gameday Experience
Parking and Transportation
Rice-Eccles Stadium does not maintain traditional surface parking lots due to its on-campus location. Parking is available in campus structures and street meters throughout the University of Utah campus, with rates ranging from $20 to $40 per game day, depending on proximity to the stadium.
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) operates expanded light rail service on game days, with the Red Line providing direct access to the Stadium TRAX station adjacent to Rice-Eccles Stadium. Round-trip TRAX fares cost $5.00 per person, with trains running every 15 minutes beginning three hours before kickoff through two hours post-game.
Tailgating Policies
Tailgating is permitted in designated areas throughout campus, primarily in the Fort Douglas area east of Rice-Eccles Stadium and along Mario Capecchi Drive. Tailgating begins four hours before kickoff and must conclude 30 minutes prior to kickoff.
University policies prohibit open flames, glass containers, and amplified sound systems in tailgating areas. Alcohol consumption is restricted to designated tailgating zones and prohibited inside Rice-Eccles Stadium, consistent with state regulations for publicly funded university facilities.
Nearby Hotels and Accommodations
Hotel options near Rice-Eccles Stadium include the University Guest House (on-campus, 0.3 miles), Marriott University Park (1.2 miles), and Hampton Inn Downtown Salt Lake City (3.8 miles). Room rates increase significantly for premium games such as BYU and Arkansas, with advance booking recommended 90 to 120 days before game dates.
Downtown Salt Lake City, located approximately four miles west of campus, offers additional accommodation options with direct TRAX light rail access to the stadium. Peak weekend rates during football season range from $149 to $399 per night, depending on hotel classification and game opponent.
Strength of Schedule Analysis
2026 Opponent Win Projections
Based on preseason projections, Utah’s 2026 schedule features four opponents projected to finish with winning records: Iowa State (9-3 projected), Colorado (8-4), BYU (8-4), and TCU (7-5). The combined projected win total for all 12 opponents is 79-65, representing a .549 winning percentage.
This schedule strength ranking places Utah in the middle tier among Big 12 Conference members. The absence of Arizona State, Texas Tech, and UCF from the nine-game conference slate removes three programs projected to finish above .500 in conference play.
Road Game Difficulty
The five road games present varying difficulty levels. The Iowa State opener represents the most challenging road environment, with Jack Trice Stadium ranking among the nation’s top 20 loudest venues and the Cyclones posting a 38-14 home record from 2016 through 2025.
The Cincinnati and Arizona road contests provide winnable opportunities based on projected team strength, while the Colorado game at Folsom Field presents rivalry intensity and altitude factors similar to Rice-Eccles Stadium. The TCU road finale carries potential season-defining implications for bowl positioning or playoff consideration.
Recruiting Impact and 2026 Class
Highest-Rated Recruit in Program History
Five-star offensive tackle Kelvin Obot headlines Utah’s 2026 recruiting class as the highest-rated prospect in program history. Obot, from Pflugerville, Texas, chose Utah over offers from Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Oregon. His 0.9853 composite rating ranks him as the nation’s No. 2 offensive tackle prospect.
Four-star cornerback Salesi Moa flipped his commitment from Tennessee to Utah during the December 2025 signing period. Moa’s addition strengthens Morgan Scalley’s defensive unit and represents a significant recruiting victory over Southeastern Conference competition.
Transfer Portal Additions
Wide receiver Braden Pegan joined from Wisconsin, bringing three years of eligibility and 87 career receptions. Tight end Noah Bennee transferred from UCLA, adding depth at a position of need following graduations from the 2025 roster.
The transfer portal additions complement the traditional recruiting class, with Morgan Scalley’s staff focusing on defensive line and secondary depth to maintain the program’s “RSNB” (Relentless, Smart, Nasty, Ballhawks) defensive identity.
Bowl Eligibility and Postseason Outlook
Six-Win Threshold Requirements
Bowl eligibility requires a minimum six-win regular-season record across 12 games. Utah’s scheduling advantages—seven home games and favorable non-conference matchups against Idaho and Utah State—provide multiple pathways to bowl eligibility independent of Big 12 conference performance.
The Big 12 Conference maintains agreements with 10 bowl games for the 2026 postseason, guaranteeing placement for all bowl-eligible members. Utah’s bowl destination depends on final conference finish, with tier placements ranging from the Big 12 Championship Game to the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.
College Football Playoff Scenarios
Reaching the 12-team College Football Playoff requires either winning the Big 12 Championship or finishing with a record strong enough to merit an at-large selection. Historical data from 2024 and 2025 shows at-large Big 12 teams needed a minimum 10-2 record with quality non-conference wins and limited bad losses.
Utah’s September 12 Arkansas game provides the critical non-conference resume component. A victory over SEC competition positions Utah favorably for playoff consideration if the program achieves 10 or more regular-season wins and competes for the Big 12 title.
Historical Context and Program Achievements
Utah Football Program Legacy
The University of Utah football program has competed for 131 seasons since 1892, accumulating 727 all-time victories, 23 conference championships across the Mountain West and Pac-12, and two undefeated seasons (2004, 2008). The program maintains a bowl game record of 20-14 across 34 postseason appearances.
Kyle Whittingham’s 20-year tenure produced 155 victories, 13 bowl wins, and the program’s 2024 transition to the Big 12 Conference. The 2004 and 2008 BCS bowl victories over Pittsburgh and Alabama, respectively, established Utah as a program capable of competing with traditional power conference members.
Rice-Eccles Stadium History
Rice Stadium opened in 1927 with a capacity of 30,000, hosting the University of Utah football for 71 seasons before closure for the 1998 Winter Olympics. The current Rice-Eccles Stadium opened in 1998, constructed partially from the original Rice Stadium structure with modern additions for Olympic ceremonies.
The Ken Garff Red Zone expansion from 2018 through 2021 increased capacity from 45,807 to 51,444, making Rice-Eccles Stadium the largest football venue in the state of Utah. The facility’s role as the 2002 Winter Olympics opening and closing ceremony venue brought international recognition to the university and city.
