Who is commentating Utah State vs Washington? Big Ten Network TV details and where to watch the Huskies live
Match date:
Utah State vs Washington in NCAA Division I FBS will air on Big Ten Network in the United States, with streaming available via FOX One, and the game is listed for 12:30 p.m. PT at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium in Seattle. The announced broadcast team is AJ Kanell on play-by-play, Marcel Reece as analyst, and Alyssa Charlston as reporter.[4][14][3]
The matchup is scheduled for Saturday, 12 September 2026, which corresponds to 8:30 p.m. UK time, making it a late-night viewing option for British fans and an afternoon kick-off for viewers on the US West Coast.[3][14][2] Washington is listed as the host and a heavy favourite, with ESPN’s pregame listing showing the Huskies at No. 19 and Utah State entering at 0-1.[1][8]
AJ Kanell is best known as a college football broadcaster and former quarterback, bringing on-air experience as a commentator with a player’s understanding of offensive structure and game flow. Marcel Reece, a former NFL fullback, adds professional playing insight after a career with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders, where he was widely recognised for his versatility and physical style. Alyssa Charlston, who also appears in Utah State’s official TV information as the sideline or reporter presence, has built her profile in regional sports coverage and adds live-game detail from the field.[4]
For Washington, this game is part of a strong early-2026 schedule at Husky Stadium. The university’s own schedule page and release confirm the Utah State date and time, while also noting that the September slate includes Big Ten Network coverage for the non-conference home games.[17][14] Utah State’s official preview says the Aggies are playing their first road game of the season and that the game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.[4]
The venue, Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium, remains one of college football’s most distinctive settings, with a large and loud home crowd expected for a nationally relevant programme against a Mountain West opponent.[19][9] Washington’s athletics department and third-party listings both place the kickoff at 12:30 p.m. PT, which aligns with the television schedule published by the Huskies and the FOX sports watch page.[14][3][17]
Fans looking to follow the game should note that the TV home in the US is BTN, while the streaming option named in the official watch information is FOX One.[3][15] That makes the broadcast straightforward for American viewers, while UK audiences will need to convert the time difference and check their local college football coverage options, since no British linear channel is listed in the match information provided.[3][14]
Washington’s recent momentum adds extra interest. ESPN’s listing shows the Huskies at 1-0, and the Athletic’s preview notes Washington entered the week as a sizeable home favourite, reflecting both roster strength and home-field advantage.[1][5] Utah State, meanwhile, arrives at 0-1 and will be looking for an improved performance on the road against a ranked opponent in a demanding environment.[4][8]
