Four of West Virginia’s game times were announced Thursday afternoon by the Big 12 and ESPN.
The Mountaineers season opener is slated to start at 2 p.m. on Aug. 30 against Robert Morris, but it’ll be behind a paywall on ESPN+ to watch the start of Rich Rodriguez’s second tenure.
The following week, West Virginia plays at another interesting time. The Mountaineers travel to Ohio with a start time at 4 p.m. on Sept. 6, broadcasting on ESPNU.
West Virginia makes its national broadcasting debut in the iconic “Backyard Brawl” against rival Pitt on Sept. 13 at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN. This is the fourth meeting between the two schools since the rivalry was renewed in 2022.
The final released time is a Big 12 conference game for the Mountaineers. West Virginia heads out to Provo, Utah, on Oct. 3 to face BYU at 10:30 p.m. E.T. for the late ESPN kick.
The other kick times will be released starting on Sept. 20 on either a 12-day or six-day window prior to the date start of each game, which includes West Virginia’s Big 12 opener against Kansas.
