This is the second canceled game for Arizona this season after its season opener against Utah was called off.
The week’s Pac-12 slate of games was announced Sunday morning, but Arizona-Cal was not given a kickoff time, as the game was already in jeopardy.
Cal’s game against Washington State that had been scheduled for last Saturday was canceled after a Golden Bears player tested positive for coronavirus.
Arizona, 0-5 and losers of 12 straight games, fired head coach Kevin Sumlin on Saturday following its Territorial Cup loss to ASU.
