FB: Early TV schedule for Cougs announced
Four Washington State football games, three home and one road, have been picked as part of the Pac-12 Conference's 2022 early television selections, the conference announced Thursday.
The Pac-12 television selections cover the first three weeks of the season, along with selected games later in the year.
The Cougars will open their 2022 season Saturday, Sept. 3 hosting Idaho in Gesa Field. Game time is set for 6:30 p.m. and will be televised by the Pac-12 Network. The following week, Sept. 10, WSU will visit Wisconsin in a 12:30 p.m. PT contest, televised by FOX.
The third week of the season, Sept. 17, sees the Cougars conclude their nonconference schedule by hosting Colorado State in a 2 p.m. game televised by the Pac-12 Network.
The final early television selection is for the Thursday, Oct. 27 game against Utah. That contest, the first in the series hosted in Pullman since the 2018 season, is set for a 7 p.m. start time and will be televised by FS1.
The remaining home games not selected for TV during the early selections include Oregon (Sept. 24), California (Oct. 1), which will serve as homecoming on the Pullman campus.
