“Big Noon Kickoff” is headed back to Provo.

BYU will host Fox’s popular college football pregame show Saturday morning outside of LaVell Edwards Stadium ahead of the Cougars’ rivalry matchup with Utah, the network announced Sunday.

This will be the second “Kickoff" in Provo, as the show visited in 2024 before BYU faced Arizona.

Additionally, “Kickoff” came to Salt Lake City on September 20 for Utah’s clash with Texas Tech.

The “Big Noon Kickoff” cast of analysts includes host Rob Stone, former college stars Brady Quinn, Mark Ingram II and Matt Leinart, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and former Utah head coach and three-time national champion Urban Meyer.

The “Big Noon Kickoff” broadcast will begin at 8 a.m. MST, with the game taking place at 6 p.m.

BYU will enter the rivalry contest 6-0 and ranked No. 15, while Utah is 5-1 and ranked No. 23. This will be the first ranked meeting between the two teams since 2009.
