The first kickoff time for UCF football in 2021 is official. The Knights and Navy will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET Oct. 2 in Annapolis—with CBS Sports Network (CBSSN) televising the game.
That game was part of a CBS announcement today that included Navy home games.
ESPN will announce kickoff times and television details for the first three weeks of the regular season later this month.
The remainder of kick times and television details will be announced week to week by ESPN and the American Athletic Conference--on either a 12- or six-day turnaround.
