The season opener will be Saturday, Sept. 3, at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., for a neutral site showdown against BYU. The Wildcats will then play seven of their final 11 contests at Arizona Stadium, while playing four true road games.
A three-game non-conference slate to begin the season continues Sept. 10 and Sept. 17 against Grambling and Hawai’i. The Pac-12 opener against Washington caps a three-game home stretch on Sept. 24.
Thereafter, the Wildcats will hit the road for two straight weeks at UCLA (Oct. 1) and Utah (Oct. 8), before returning home to face Southern California (Oct. 15).
Arizona, which played 12 consecutive weeks without a bye in 2015, will then receive a bye week on the eighth week of the regular season (Oct. 22). Then, the Wildcats close out the regular season with three of their final five games at home.
Stanford visits Tucson on Oct. 29 for Family Weekend. The Wildcats then travel to Washington State on Nov. 5 before returning home to host Colorado on Nov. 12 for Homecoming. The final road trip is to Oregon State on Nov. 19, before the Wildcats host the annual Territorial Cup against Arizona State on Friday, Nov. 25.
Every football game played at Pac-12 sites will be televised. A combination of the ESPN channels, ABC, FOX and FOX Sports 1 will broadcast 44 games nationally and Pac-12 Networks will offer 35 games to national and international audiences. Exact broadcast schedules will be determined at a later date.
Arizona (6-6) concludes its 2015 season against New Mexico (7-5) this Saturday, Dec. 19, in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for noon (MST) with a live television broadcast on ESPN.
