What channel is Colorado State football vs. UNLV on? Time, TV, streaming schedule

A Mountain West meeting that feels almost like a nonconference game.

The Colorado State and UNLV football teams share the same league, but due to a variety of circumstances there's no familiarity since they haven't played each other since 2019.

The two haven't played in Las Vegas since 2016.

It's a weird circumstance brought on by the Mountain West's former scheduling format and COVID wiping out a scheduled 2020 game.

They finally meet again Saturday, Oct. 21 when the Rams play at Allegiant Stadium for the first time. Here's everything to know about the game.

What's the weather like in Las Vegas?

The game will be played inside a dome, so weather isn't a factor (although Saturday's high is 91, for those curious).

Stadium, ticket information

The game will be at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, but also the site for home UNLV games. The full stadium capacity is 65,000 for NFL games but on UNLV's ticket site it appears only the lower bowl is open for UNLV games.

Another homecoming

This will be the fourth game in the last five for CSU to be playing in a homecoming game.

Sept. 23 at Middle Tennessee, Oct. 7 at Utah State and now Oct. 21 at UNLV are all homecoming games for the hosts. CSU's Oct. 14 home game against Boise State was homecoming for the Rams.
