Who is commentating Fresno State vs San Jose State on FS1 and FOX One?
Match date:
Fresno State vs San Jose State in NCAA Division I FBS will be shown in the United States on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and streamed on FOX One, with Carlo Jimenez on play-by-play and Petros Papadakis as the colour analyst.[6][7][16] For viewers in the UK, the game is scheduled for 03:00 UK time, making it a late-night watch for British college football fans.[2][16]
The matchup is set for CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, California, and ESPN’s game listing confirms the fixture as Fresno State at San José State, with FS1 listed as the television channel.[1][4][6] Fox Sports’ own watch guide says the game kicks off at 11:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. PT on Saturday, 19 September 2026, and streams live on FOX One.[6][16]
Carlo Jimenez is the lead voice for the broadcast, while Petros Papadakis provides analysis alongside him.[7][14] Jimenez has become a familiar college football play-by-play name on the West Coast, and Papadakis is a long-established former college football player and media personality whose commentary style is built around first-hand football knowledge and strong opinions.[7][14] That combination should suit a regional rivalry-type atmosphere, especially with this game carrying added significance in the Mountain West calendar.[18]
Fresno State and San Jose State arrive with different early-season records, with ESPN listing Fresno State at 1-1 and San José State at 2-1 ahead of the game.[1][4] Betting markets and preview pages generally make Fresno State the favourite, though the line varies between sources, which suggests a relatively competitive game rather than a clear mismatch.[2][4][9][20]
For fans deciding whether to tune in, the key viewing details are straightforward: FS1 on TV, FOX One for streaming, and a broadcast team led by Carlo Jimenez and Petros Papadakis.[6][7][16] Fox’s coverage page and Fresno State’s official preview both confirm the same channel and commentary crew, making this one of the more clearly identified college football broadcasts on the late Saturday slate.[7][14][16]
The game also fits neatly into the broader FOX college football package, which continues to carry a major share of U.S. college football inventory; more on the network’s sports coverage can be found through FOX Sports.
