BYU vs. Arizona is being coined as the “Las Vegas Kickoff Classic.” It will be the first neutral-site college football game played in the $1.9 billion stadium. The game is scheduled to be played on Saturday, September 4th, 2021.
On Allegiant Stadium’s official website, BYU/Arizona is the third “upcoming event” behind a July 10th Garth Brooks concert and a September 2nd college football game between UNLV and Eastern Washington.
This will be the 25th meeting all-time between BYU and Arizona, with the Wildcats holding a 12-11-1 edge on the Cougars. The last meeting was in 2018, a game that BYU won 28-23 in Tucson as a two-touchdown underdog.
This is the third time the two programs will open a season against one another in the last five years.
