As expected, Arizona's nonconference schedule — all home games — will be under the lights of Arizona Stadium and broadcasted on three different platforms. Arizona will kick off the season against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 7:30 p.m. on TNT and streamed on HBO Max. Following a settlement between the NBA and Warner Bros. Discovery, 13 Big 12 football games will be moved from ESPN to TNT and TBS, which are WBD channels.
