FOX Sports' Big Noon Kickoff Heads to London for Union Jack Classic From Wembley Stadium

FOX Sports' Big Noon Kickoff will broadcast live from Wembley Stadium in London ahead of the Union Jack Classic on Saturday, Sept. 19.

The announcement was made on FOX's FIFA World Cup Live ahead of Sunday's England-Croatia matchup on FOX. It marks the first international broadcast in the history of Big Noon Kickoff.

The Big 12 matchup between Arizona State and Kansas is the first FBS game to be played in the United Kingdom. Big Noon Kickoff will begin on site at 10:00 a.m. ET on FOX. The Union Jack Classic will kick off at 12:00 p.m. ET on FS1.

The trip brings Big Noon Kickoff to an international site for the first time and adds FOX Sports' pregame coverage to the inaugural Union Jack Classic.

FOX Sports prides itself on being the home of big events, so we couldn't pass up an opportunity to bring BIG NOON KICKOFF to the historic Wembley Stadium - home to so many iconic moments in sports, said Jordan Bazant, Executive Vice President, FOX Sports. With BIG NOON KICKOFF and the Union Jack Classic now woven into that storied legacy, we can't wait to take our viewers along for this international adventure, and we're thankful to Brett Yormark, Scott Draper, Travis Goff and Graham Rossini for helping bring this one-of-a-kind event to life.

The Union Jack Classic is the Big 12's third football game in Europe in two seasons. The conference had Iowa State and Kansas State meet in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Ireland to open the 2025 season, and TCU will participate in this year's season-opening event in Dublin.

We're extremely excited to have FOX's BIG NOON KICKOFF come to London to preview the Union Jack Classic, said Lance Leipold, Kansas Head Coach. The show does an outstanding job of showcasing the pregame pageantry of college football. Having the show at the Union Jack Classic will make for a truly special environment as we take on Arizona State in the first ever college football game in the iconic Wembley Stadium.

We are thrilled that FOX Sports is investing programming resources for this game, said Kenny Dillingham, Arizona State Head Coach. Their pregame show is always great television, and we look forward to Sun Devil fans enjoying everything that FOX Sports is doing in London to make this game special.

We're thrilled to welcome BIG NOON KICKOFF to Wembley Stadium for the inaugural Union Jack Classic, said Brian Dubiski, Chairman and CEO of the Union Jack Classic. This is a big moment for college football, and FOX Sports' commitment to the sport reflects the significance of bringing a Big 12 matchup to one of the world's most iconic venues. BIG NOON KICKOFF will bring the world class tailgating atmosphere and expert analysis, and we look forward to delivering an unforgettable experience for fans in London and around the world.
