The upcoming football season promises to be an exciting one for Nevada fans, as the Wolf Pack is set to feature in at least nine of their twelve regular-season games on national television. The action kicks off with a highly anticipated match against potential preseason No. 1 Penn State on CBS. This marks Nevada's return to the national network since their 2020 clash with San Diego State. Beyond this opener, several Mountain West Conference matchups will also air on prominent sports networks such as CBS Sports Network and ESPN platforms. In addition to televised games, the university has announced affordable ticket options for season-long support, including family-friendly packages and mini-plans catering to specific preferences.
Preparations are underway for what could be a historic year for the Nevada Wolf Pack. On August 30th, they embark on their journey by facing Penn State, ranked among the nation’s top contenders, in a game broadcast live on CBS at 12:30 PM Pacific Time. This encounter represents not only the team's first meeting with Penn State but also their debut appearance on CBS since 2020. Following this high-profile start, Nevada continues its campaign through a mix of non-conference and conference battles that promise plenty of drama and excitement.
While the initial two home matches against Sac State and Middle Tennessee won't grace national screens, the slate picks up steam later in the season. A notable highlight includes the September 20th matchup versus Western Kentucky airing on ESPN-affiliated channels. Within the Mountain West Conference, seven out of eight contests are scheduled for network coverage, ensuring widespread visibility. Among these fixtures is the October 4th kickoff against Fresno State, highlighted on CBS Sports Network at 7:30 PM PT.
Fans can look forward to key home dates where Nevada will host formidable opponents under the watchful eyes of millions nationwide. Standout encounters include showdowns with San Diego State (October 11), Boise State (moved from Saturday to Friday, October 24), San Jose State (November 15), and UNLV (November 29). Each of these engagements will stream live via CBS Sports Network, providing ample opportunities for supporters far and wide to cheer on their beloved team.
Road trips also promise intrigue, with stops planned at New Mexico and Utah State, both featured on respected sports networks. While some games remain without confirmed broadcasters or kick-off times, notably those against Sacramento State, Middle Tennessee, and Wyoming, anticipation builds nonetheless. With head coach Jeff Choate leading into his second full season, expectations run high for sustained success.
Affordable access to all the action awaits fans eager to witness the Wolf Pack's progress firsthand. Season tickets commence at just $99, while Family 4-PACK offers provide exceptional value with four general-admission passes plus complimentary parking valued at $400—a saving of $240. For those preferring flexibility, mini-plans go live starting Monday at 9 AM, offering tailored selections to fit diverse interests. Whether opting for marquee matchups like Boise State or traditional rivalries such as UNLV, there’s something for everyone within reach.
