USU will get the primetime treatment by Fox Sports One as they start the season against Boise State on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 5 p.m. M.T.

The home opener will be on Halloween evening, as the Aggies battle San Diego State on at 7:30 p.m. MT on CBS Sports Network.

The final home game for the Aggies will be against Air Force at 7:30 P.M. MT on Dec. 3, a day where the weather in Logan will almost certainly play a factor.

Half of the games will be on Fox Sports One/ Fox Sports Two, and the other half will be on CBS Sports Network. Back in January, the Mountain West signed a six-year TV with Fox and CBS worth a combined $270 million.

On Sept. 24, the Mountain West reinstated their fall football schedule, announcing an eight-game season beginning the fourth weekend of October.
