UNLV football will play its first regular-season game in program history on Fox, opening the 2026 season by hosting Memphis, the school announced Wednesday.
The game will be broadcast at 7 p.m. Aug. 29 at Allegiant Stadium. It is one of at least 11 national television appearances for the Rebels, a school record.
This will be the fourth time that the Rebels have appeared on the Fox network, the previous three coming during the program’s Mountain West Championship Game appearances against the Boise State Broncos from 2023-25.
That opener will feature the first-ever meeting between the Rebels and Memphis Tigers.
Also, six of UNLV’s 12 regular-season games will be aired on CBS Sports Network, including an Oct. 3 rematch of the 2024 LA Bowl against the California Golden Bears.
The final five games will be split between ESPNU, ESPN, and the CW, which will showcase the Rebels’ homecoming game on Oct. 10 against North Dakota State University.
The UNLV previously had 10 regular-season national broadcasts in 2024 and 2025.
