Southern Utah visits Colorado State in a College Football matchup on CBS Sports Network, with Alex Del Barrio on commentary and Emory Hunt as co-commentator. The game is listed for 5:00pm MT at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, which translates to 00:00 UK time on Sunday, 13 September 2026. [5][10][16]
For viewers in the US, the key broadcast detail is straightforward: this game is scheduled on CBS Sports Network, while Colorado State’s own game-week information also directs fans to that channel. For UK readers, the fixture appears on the ESPN UK game page, but the live broadcast outlet remains the American cable network rather than a Sky, ITV or world-feed pickup. [3][10][12]
Alex Del Barrio has become one of the more recognisable Spanish-language and digital-era voices around American football coverage, and his assignment here reflects CBS Sports Network’s habit of pairing emerging play-by-play talent with sharp analyst voices. Emory Hunt is widely known as a college-football analyst and evaluator who has built a reputation for detailed breakdowns of teams and players, making him a natural fit for a matchup featuring a Group of Five programme against an FCS opponent.

The game itself matches a Colorado State side entering the contest at 1-0 against a Southern Utah team listed at 1-1. ESPN and CBS Sports’ own game trackers both show the Rams as the favourite, and the matchup is also being promoted by Colorado State as an Ag Day and Orange Out event at Canvas Stadium.

Colorado State’s home-game branding matters because it shows how the programme is trying to create a stronger atmosphere early in the season, particularly with a non-conference home date that should be manageable on paper but still offers useful roster evaluation. Southern Utah, meanwhile, brings a Big Sky background and the challenge of testing itself against an FBS opponent in a road environment that can quickly expose depth issues. [1][4][10][15]
For fans looking beyond the television listing, the game is also available through CBS Sports’ digital watch options, and the Colorado State athletics site confirms the CBS Sports Network broadcast alongside its radio coverage. That makes this one of those classic early-season games where the production detail is nearly as important as the football, especially for viewers following the broadcast team rather than just the scoreline. [9][10][12]
More broadly, this is the kind of assignment that can help shape the public profile of commentators such as Del Barrio and Hunt. College football coverage on cable often gives analysts room to establish a distinct voice, and a live FBS home game in a sizeable conference television window is exactly the sort of stage that can make a broadcast team memorable.
