How to watch
Broadcast and streaming
A regular home for a national streaming or cable window, since the program has built a broadcast footprint independent of a single conference network.
National windows
Marquee matchups move to national broadcast partners, usually announced 12 days out.
Out-of-market
A live TV bundle that includes the conference network is the simplest single subscription.

Tickets
What tickets actually cost you in planning
Evergreen demand patterns, not a live price feed. Verify current inventory at the source before you book travel.
- Tailgating and the surrounding scene are alcohol-free, which changes the character of the lots compared to most Big 12 road trips.
- Weeknight and Saturday kickoffs both appear on the schedule; there are no Sunday games here for religious observance reasons, which is worth building a trip around.
- Demand climbs sharply for ranked non-conference visitors and rivalry games; plan lodging around Provo or Sundance well in advance for those dates.
Where to sit
The open bowl faces the Wasatch Range beyond the east stands. Sideline seats on the west side catch the evening sun as it drops behind the mountains.
Traditions
What makes a BYU Saturday different
Cougar Tunnel walk
The team walk into the stadium draws a large, family-heavy crowd well before kickoff.
One Shining Moment on the field
Postgame video tributes and a genuinely wholesome atmosphere set this stop apart from most road trips in the league.
Tailgating
- Tailgating is alcohol-free and family-heavy, which changes the whole tone of the lots.
- Lots open several hours early and fill from the south side first.
Bring cash or a card for concessions since there is no alcohol sold on site, and pack a light layer for once the sun drops behind the mountains.
Travel and stay
- Salt Lake City (SLC) is 45 minutes north and is the only practical airport.
- Pair the trip with Sundance or Provo Canyon in October for the leaves.
Weather: Elevation is over 4,500 feet, so hydration matters even on mild days. Evenings cool off quickly once the sun clears the range, especially in October and November.
Around the game
Beyond the stadium in Provo, Utah
- Provo CanyonA short drive from campus and spectacular for leaf color around October kickoffs.
- SundanceThe resort area up the canyon makes a good half-day add-on before or after a game.
