Arizona vs. BYU: How to Catch the Week 2 College Football Showdown Live (and Free)

It’s Saturday, September 12, and the desert heat of Arizona meets the high‑altitude atmosphere of Provo, Utah. The Wildcats, led by senior quarterback Noah Fifita, are heading to LaVell Edwards Stadium for a Week 2 clash against No. 15 BYU and the ever‑dangerous Bear Bachmeier.

Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX, so if you’ve got a cable hookup you can simply tune in. No cable? No problem – you can still stream the game for free with a short‑term trial of DIRECTV’s college‑football package or FuboTV’s streaming service.
