WVU football is looking to get back on track after their first bye week of the season.
The Mountaineers will get that chance with a relatively winnable game, as they're set to play another winless team in Big 12 play as they travel to face UCF. For those hoping to catch the Mountaineers get back to action this weekend, here's all the information you’ll need.
The Basics: When And Where
The matchup with UCF is the fourth road game on the 2025 slate for the Mountaineers, and the third in conference play – West Virginia has gone winless when not playing in Morgantown so far this year, most recently falling to the BYU Cougars in Provo after earlier road defeats at the hands of Ohio and Kansas. The action this week will take place on Saturday, October 4 at the Acrisure Bounce House in Orlando, Florida, with the game set to kick off at 1:00 PM EST.
TV, Streaming, and Radio
Those looking to watch the contest on TV will find coverage on a relatively new landing spot for WVU, with the broadcast being carried live on TNT and TruTV. The game will also be streamed live online on the HBO Max streaming service. The commentary duties for the game will be tackled by J.B. Long and Mike Golic Jr. with sideline reporting from Lauren Jbara.
Radio coverage can be found on all local Mountaineer Sports Network affiliates or The Varsity Network via web browser or smartphone app. This week's coverage will start at 10:00 AM EST with the GoMart Mountaineer Tailgate Show, and will then transition into pre-game coverage for WVU-UCF at Noon EST. Per usual, the incomparable Tony Caridi will handle play-by-play duties while Dwight Wallace will serve as the analyst and Jed Drenning will report from the sidelines.
Tickets
Those looking to take in the action live from the Bounce House can find tickets on SeatGeek, which serves as the official fan-to-fan ticket marketplace of WVU Athletics.
Weather
The forecast for Orlando on Saturday is beautiful, with a high of 81 degrees and a low of 65 degrees. The skies are projected to be sunny with no rain expected.
