Utah Utes football hosts the West Virginia Mountaineers in a night game at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Utah Utes football takes on the West Virginia Mountaineers at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Friday, November 27, 2026. It's a night game, with kickoff set for 7 PM, and it serves as the final home game of Utah's regular season. If you've been following the Utes this year, this is the one that closes out their schedule at Rice-Eccles before they move on to whatever comes next.
Coming in from West Virginia, the Mountaineers make the trip to Salt Lake City to face the Utes in front of the home crowd. It's a cross-country matchup, and since it's a Friday night game under the lights, it's got that particular energy you only get when the sun goes down and the stadium lights take over. Being the regular-season home finale, it's the last chance to catch the Utes play at Rice-Eccles this year.
There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you head over. The stadium gates open two hours before kickoff, so if you want to get in early and settle in, you've got plenty of time. You'll need your digital tickets and parking ready on your mobile device, as both are scanned from your phone. The venue also operates a clear-bag policy, so make sure whatever you're carrying fits that description. And if you're planning on grabbing food or drinks, the concessions are cashless, so leave the cash at home and stick to your card.
