Arizona’s Homecoming game against Oregon set for late kickoff

Plenty of time, once again, for day drinking

On the bright side, at least the Homecoming festivities won’t have to be condensed to accommodate a football game.

Much to nobody’s surprise, the Arizona Wildcats’ next home game on Oct. 27 against Oregon will kick off at 7:30 p.m. MST. It will be broadcast on ESPN.

Combined with the already determined 7:30 p.m. kickoff for the Colorado game on Friday, Nov. 2, Arizona will have started 15 consecutive home games at 6 p.m. or later. The last game at Arizona Stadium to start before that was Oct. 15, 2016 when the Wildcats and USC kicked off at 12:30 p.m.

The only hope for a non-night game in Tucson is the Territorial Cup against Arizona State, scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 24. That’s been a daytime kickoff the last two times it was played in Tempe, including last year, but hasn’t been before dark at home since 2014.
