As has been tradition, the Wildcats will open with 6 p.m. games early in the season before moving to 1 p.m. kickoffs for the final three home matchups.

Coming off a 4-8 season, Weber State opens the 2025 season with three straight road games, including two long road trips. The slate begins on Saturday, Aug. 30, at James Madison. WSU will take in a combined $925,000 in payouts from JMU and its Week 2 opponent, Arizona, while paying out $200,000 for Butler to play in Ogden.

Below are Weber State’s 2025 kickoff times, with all times Mountain.

All games are officially set to stream on ESPN+ except the Week 3 matchup at McNeese, though that will likely land on ESPN+ as well. Games against Montana and Montana State typically air locally on Scripps TV stations, though no such plans have been announced for those two WSU games this season.

Utah, BYU players named to Big 12 preseason team

Utah had three players and BYU two who were voted to the Big 12’s preseason all-conference football team released this week.

Utah quarterback Devon Dampier was voted as preseason newcomer of the year. After 21 games at New Mexico, including 13 starts, Dampier transferred to Utah and followed offensive coordinator Jason Beck to Salt Lake City. Dampier led the Mountain West in total offense with 3,934 yards, including 2,768 passing yards, and was UNM’s first-ever QB to make first team all-conference.

Two offensive linemen got preseason first team nods as well in Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu. Fano started all 12 games last season at right tackle and was named a first team All-Big 12 selection after the season. Lomu started all 12 games in 2024 at left tackle. Utah returns all five starting offensive linemen.

Davis High alum Will Ferrin was one of two BYU players named to the preseason team. Ferrin, entering his senior year, set new BYU records for field goals in a season (24) and tied the school record for consecutive made field goals (16) in 2024.

Chase Roberts is the other Cougar getting a preseason nod. The 6-foot-4 senior receiver led BYU with 52 catches for 854 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.

Arizona State sophomore quarterback Sam Leavitt was voted to Big 12 preseason offensive player of the year and Texas Tech senior linebacker Jacob Rodriguez as preseason defensive POY.

BYU opens the season Aug. 30, hosting Portland State, while Utah travels that day to UCLA.
