Colorado-Kansas State receives late kickoff time on national television

Colorado’s Week 7 game against Kansas State received a late kickoff time

As announced Monday, the Colorado Buffaloes and Kansas State Wildcats’ Week 7 matchup in Boulder will kick off at 8:15 p.m. MT on ESPN.

With ESPN taking the Oct. 12 battle, Colorado will extend its national television streak to six straight games to begin the 2024 season. The Buffs had four games start at 8 p.m. MT or later last season, including three on ESPN, but have yet to kick off past 6 p.m. MT through five games this year.

Colorado (4-1, 2-0 Big 12) and Kansas State (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) each have a Week 6 bye prior to their Week 7 meeting at Folsom Field.

Four other Big 12 matchups are scheduled for Week 7, including a Friday night game between Utah and Arizona State on ESPN (Oct. 11 at 8:30 p.m. MT). Cincinnati-UCF (1:30 p.m. MT, ESPN2), Arizona-BYU (2 p.m. MT, Fox) and Iowa State-West Virginia (6 p.m. MT, Fox) are all scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 12.

Colorado’s regular season finale against Oklahoma State on Nov. 29 (10 a.m. MT, ABC) marks the Buffs’ only other upcoming game with an announced time/television.
