Arizona State and Kansas kick off the first FBS game ever played in England at 5 p.m. local time Saturday, which is noon in the Eastern time zone and 9 a.m. for fans in Arizona. Britain is still on summer time until October 25, so the gap to the US East Coast is five hours, not the usual four plus one that catches out travelers.
How to Watch in the US
The game airs on FS1, streaming on the Fox Sports app and Fox One, with Connor Onion, Robert Griffin III and Alexa Landestoy on the call. FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show broadcasts from Wembley from 10 a.m. to noon ET on FOX, its first international edition. The FOX noon game itself is Kent State at Ohio State, so this game is on FS1 rather than the main network.
Why This Game Is in London
The Union Jack Classic was originally a Kansas home game. Kansas moved it because Booth Memorial Stadium is operating at reduced capacity during the second phase of its rebuild; the Jayhawks still have six home games in Lawrence this season. It is the first FBS game in England and the first Big 12 game played outside North America. Full background is on why Arizona State and Kansas are playing in London.
The Matchup
Both teams are 1-1 and this is the Big 12 opener for each. Arizona State beat Morgan State 70-7 behind Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley’s 387 yards and six touchdowns, then lost 48-20 at Texas A&M.
