2025 Territorial Cup between ASU, Arizona set for national spotlight

The Arizona State Sun Devils’ chase for a Big 12 title repeat will always go through the rival Arizona Wildcats, and the television network decision-makers on Monday made the call to feature the 2025 Territorial Cup in primetime.

The Wildcats will visit ASU on Friday, Nov. 28, for a 7 p.m. MST kickoff on FOX, the conference announced.

The Big 12 also announced Week 6 kickoff times and TV assignments, with Arizona facing Oklahoma State at noon MST Saturday, Oct. 4, on TNT. ASU is on a bye that week.

Arizona has gotten off to a 3-0 start to head coach Brent Brennan’s second year on the job, lending optimism that the Wildcats, who won just two Big 12 games in 2024, will be a more competitive out this season.

The Sun Devils needed a win over the Wildcats last year to propel themselves cleanly into the conference title game and did so easily by a 49-7 final.

While ASU got tripped up in Week 2 against Mississippi State, they pulled out a 27-24 nail-biter at Baylor on Saturday to begin conference play.
