A Thursday night prime time game at USC on Oct. 10 follows the second bye week. It will be the team's first Thursday night game since 2011 against UCLA.
The team's first home conference game comes a week later against Utah. Road games at Colorado and California follow the home matchup with the Utes.
After facing former offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes and Cal, Arizona will return for three straight home games against UCLA, Washington State and Oregon.
The season concludes with the Territorial Cup on Nov. 30 in Tempe. The Wildcats haven't lost at Sun Devil Stadium since a 20-17 setback in 2007 to close out the season.
