RENO, Nev. – Six more 2021 Nevada Football contests were added to the TV broadcast schedule Thursday, as FOX, the Mountain West, and the Big 12 unveiled their respective slates.

Five Wolf Pack contests will air on the FOX family of networks (FOX, FS1, FS2), beginning with the season opener at California, slated for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on FS1.

Nevada's regular-season home finale against Air Force will also air on FS1, moving to Friday, Nov. 20, and kicking off at either 6, 6:30, or 7 p.m. A final kickoff time will be announced closer to game day.

The remaining three Wolf Pack conference matchups airing on the FOX networks will have their respective network and kick time announced at a later date. Those three contests are Nevada visits to Boise State (Saturday, Oct. 2) and Fresno State (Saturday, Oct. 23) and a home matchup with San José State Saturday, Nov. 6, at Mackay Stadium.

The Big 12 also announced a slate of broadcasts Thursday, with Nevada's non-conference trip to Kansas State set for Saturday, Sept. 18, kicking off at 11:05 a.m. PT (1:05 p.m. local) and airing on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.

Broadcast information, along with an official date and kick time, for Nevada's 2021 home opener against Idaho State, the weekend of Sept. 10-12, will be announced at a later date.

The Wolf Pack has been working on new initiatives to the gameday experience at Mackay Stadium. This process has been years in the making and developed, in part, based off feedback from fan surveys in previous seasons. Complete details are still being finalized and more enhancements are planned for coming seasons.

Among the new features for the 2021 season:

• A new all-fans-welcome tailgating experience called the We Are Nevada Fan Zone near Jensen Plaza north of Mackay Stadium, with food trucks, live entertainment and more! 
• A revamped in-game production with new videoboard features, promotions, giveaways and fan experiences. 
• Affordable tickets and payment models as the department has lowered the cost of tickets in 100 percent of the seating areas in Mackay, and is offering payment plan models. 
• Full digital ticketing to make the sales and transfer process more efficient and fan-friendly. 
• Reduced costs on some concession items throughout the stadium and increased efficiencies to purchase concessions 
• A new customer service initiative called "Ask Alphie" to make parking and stadium maps more easily available, answer questions and add a new level of information and service for Wolf Pack fans. 

The department has also worked with the marching band and the Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN) to move the student section and the band to the south end zone and southeast corner of the stadium to enhance the student experience and overall environment inside the stadium.

The Wolf Pack football team is coming off a 7-2 record in the abbreviated 2020 season, which included a dominating win over Tulane in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Nevada returns junior quarterback Carson Strong, the reigning Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year.

The Wolf Pack also brings back first-team All-Mountain West selections in wide receiver Romeo Doubs, the Mountain West's only 1,000-yard receiver in 2020, tight end Cole Turner, who shared the conference lead with Doubs in touchdown catches (nine), and kicker Brandon Talton. The 2021 Nevada squad will also feature second-team All-Mountain West picks running back Toa Taua, offensive lineman Aaron Frost, defensive linemen Dom Peterson and Sam Hammond, and linebacker Lawson Hall, in addition to six All-Mountain West Honorable Mention players in offensive linemen Jacob Gardner, Tyler Orsini, and Jermaine Ledbetter, along with defensive backs Tyson Williams and Berdale Robins, and punter Julian Diaz.
