SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah football fans making plans to attend the game against UCLA will have to wait to find out the start time on Sunday, October 24.
Utah will host UCLA on Saturday, October 30 but will have to find out the kickoff time on Sunday as it will enter the six-day window. The good news is the game has two kickoff time options. It will be at either 1:30 p.m. MT on FOX or 8 p.m. MT on ESPN.
According to Jon Wilner of the Bay Area News Group, the kickoff time will be determined by the outcome of Oregon/UCLA this Saturday in the Rose Bowl at 1:30 p.m. MT on ABC. FOX was the network that put the Utah/UCLA game into the six-day window.
Which means if UCLA beats Oregon on Saturday, Utah will face the Bruins at 1:30 p.m. MT on FOX. If the Bruins fall to the Ducks, the Utes and UCLA will have a late kickoff on ESPN.

The Utes have played on ESPN twice this season, losing to BYU in Provo and beating Arizona State this past Saturday. They have appeared on FOX once and that was in their win at USC on Saturday, October 9.
Utah will hit the road to face Oregon State this week in Corvallis. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. MT on the Pac-12 Network.
