Which Arizona Wildcats games are worth watching in 2026?
Arizona's schedule starts with several intriguing tests before conference play. The Week 2 trip to BYU is one of the toughest road environments in the Big 12 and already has a national FOX broadcast. A renewed rivalry with Washington State follows two weeks later, while the Wildcats begin Big 12 play at home against Cincinnati before challenging road trips to West Virginia and Utah.
The second half of the season features several games that could shape the Big 12 standings. Home contests against Iowa State, TCU, and Kansas State are balanced by difficult road trips to Texas Tech and defending rival Arizona State. The regular season concludes with the Territorial Cup in Tempe, one of the oldest rivalries in college football and annually one of the most anticipated games in the Southwest.
