Stanford plays at USC in the first conference games of the season (Sept. 11), and both teams will resume their long standing rivalries with Notre Dame. Five teams — Arizona, Utah, Arizona State, Washington State and USC — have nonconference games against BYU.
The Pac-12 championship game, which was relocated to USC in 2020, will make its debut at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Dec. 3.
