Making its first-ever trip to the state of Utah, the two-hour Big Noon Kickoff pregame show and tailgate party will be held in the west parking lot of LaVell Edwards Stadium. Set at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, Edwards Stadium is one of the most picturesque settings in college football.

Saturday’s show will also include detailed analysis and coverage of the Big 12 matchup between BYU (5-0, 2-0) and Arizona (3-2, 1-1).
“We are excited to welcome FOX Big Noon Kickoff to Provo,” said Tom Holmoe, BYU director of athletics. “It’s a great opportunity for BYU to showcase our football program, the ROC, Cougar Nation and the incredible atmosphere of football game day at LaVell Edwards Stadium. On behalf of BYU, I would like to thank FOX Sports as well as Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark and his staff for this tremendous opportunity. We look forward to an exciting day of football.”
