OX Sports announced in June that its pregame show Big Noon Kickoff will broadcast live from Wembley Stadium in London for Arizona State's Week 3 game against Kansas. The international matchup is also a game of interest for those following Arizona sports betting.
First American College Football Game at Wembley
The Sun Devils and Jayhawks will meet at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 19, in a game billed as the inaugural Union Jack Classic. It will be the first regular-season Big 12 football game played in the United Kingdom and the first American college football game at Wembley Stadium.
FOX said the London matchup will also mark the first time Big Noon Kickoff has broadcast from outside the United States. The game continues the Big 12's recent push into international events after Iowa State and Kansas State opened the 2025 season in Dublin. TCU is scheduled to open the 2026 season in Dublin as well.
Kickoff Time and Broadcast
Big Noon Kickoff's coverage from London will begin at 10 a.m. ET, which is 9 a.m. CT and 7 a.m. MST. Kickoff between Arizona State and Kansas follows at noon ET, or 9 a.m. MST, and will air on FS1. Kansas coach Lance Leipold said Big Noon Kickoff "does an outstanding job of showcasing the pregame pageantry of college football" ahead of the event.
Where the Game Fits on the Schedule
Arizona State opens its season at Mountain America Stadium on Sept. 5 against Morgan State, making the London trip the Sun Devils' third game of the year. Those using Arizona betting apps to track early-season Big 12 odds will have another conference matchup to watch in Week 3.
Arizona State finished last season 8-5, including a 42-39 loss to Duke in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Kansas finished 5-7 overall and 3-6 in Big 12 play in 2025.
