Colorado vs. Arizona: Game Time and TV announced

Buffaloes hit the road to Tucson with another nationally televised game on the books

The Colorado Buffaloes' upcoming road game against the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday, October 19, 2024, is set to kick off at 4 p.m. ET and will be televised nationally on FOX.

This matchup marks the first-ever meeting between Colorado head coach Deion Sanders and Arizona’s Brett Brennan. The first-year coach replaced former head coach Jedd Fisch, who left for Washington. The former NFL assistant was coaching with the Baltimore Ravens during Sanders final stint in the league.

Arizona comes into the game with a 3-2 record, looking to bounce back from a mixed season so far. The Wildcats opened the year on a sour note, suffering a 31-7 defeat to Kansas State. However, they rebounded impressively by upsetting then tenth-ranked Utah. Arizona's momentum was halted again with a loss to Texas Tech last weekend, and they are scheduled to face No. 14 BYU before their showdown with Colorado.
