Apple Cup Moves to Sunday for First Time

The Apple Cup is making history this year, moving to Sunday, September sixth, at 1 PM Pacific — the first time in the storied rivalry’s history it’s been played on a Sunday, strategically timed for prime-time national exposure before the NFL season kicks off. Alongside this shift, Washington’s non-conference slate is taking shape, including a Saturday showdown with Utah State and a later clash with Eastern Washington, both on the Big Ten Network. With extra prep time for the Apple Cup and key Friday night games against Iowa and Purdue already locked in, the Huskies are setting the stage for a high-profile season — with major matchups like USC and Oregon still to be scheduled. This Sunday move signals a bold new era for the rivalry, designed to capture eyeballs and hype as the college football season heats up.
