Utah Utes 2025 football schedule announced

The Utah Utes enter the 2025 season with a fresh look under head coach Kyle Whittingham, who is now in his 21st year leading the program. With over 20 players departing from last year's roster, Utah has reloaded with key additions through the transfer portal, including New Mexico quarterback Devon Dampier and Washington State running back Wayshawn Parker. The biggest change, however, comes on the sidelines, as new offensive coordinator Jason Beck brings an uptempo approach to the Utes' attack. His system will pair with defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley's disciplined defense, creating a balanced yet aggressive team capable of competing for a Big 12 title.

The Utes face one of the tougher schedules in the conference, with their first five weeks alternating between home and road games. They open at UCLA on August 30, a tough test against a former Pac-12 rival, before returning home to face Cal Poly. A road trip to Wyoming follows, presenting a tricky non-conference matchup in Laramie. Conference play begins with back-to-back challenges against Texas Tech at home and West Virginia on the road before an early bye week.
