BYU plays the University of Utah every year in the Holy War, but that is not the only in-state rivalry on the calendar. Across football, volleyball, soccer and basketball, BYU plays Utah State, Utah Tech, Weber State, Utah Valley and Southern Utah this year too. Here is every in-state game in 2026-27: the results so far, the dates still to come, and how to get in.
Results so far (fall 2026)
| Date | Sport | Game | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 5 | Football | Utah Tech at BYU | BYU 63, Utah Tech 7 |
| Sept. 10 | Women's soccer | BYU at Utah State | Utah State 4, BYU 0 |
| Sept. 15 | Volleyball | Utah Valley at BYU | BYU 3-0 (25-11, 25-9, 25-16) |
| Sept. 17 | Volleyball | BYU at Weber State | BYU 3-0 |
| Sept. 19 | Volleyball | Utah State at BYU | BYU 3-0 |
The one loss stands out. BYU women's soccer had beaten USC, Minnesota and UCLA before going to Logan, and Utah State won 4-0. It was the soccer team's worst night of the season, against the same Aggies it beat in an 11-round penalty shootout in last year's NCAA Tournament.
The volleyball week was the opposite. BYU swept three in-state teams in five days, hitting .520 against Utah Valley.

Two dates stand out. On December 9 and again on December 15, both BYU basketball teams play an in-state opponent at the Marriott Center on the same day: the women in the afternoon and the men later, once times are set. If you want two games in one trip to the Marriott Center, those are the days.
The opponents, briefly
Utah State (Logan). This year's toughest in-state opponent outside Utah so far. Its soccer team beat BYU 4-0 this year, and BYU's new volleyball coach, Rob Neilson, came from Utah State, where he went 112-59 and won three Mountain West titles. The Aggies come to the Marriott Center twice in basketball, on November 18 for women's basketball and December 9 for men's.
Weber State (Ogden). BYU women's basketball has won 15 straight at home against the Wildcats, a streak on the line December 15.
Utah Tech (St. George). BYU's 2026 football opener, a 63-7 win. Utah Tech is an FCS program.
Utah Valley (Orem). UVU is BYU's closest neighbor, a short drive north in Orem, and now plays in the Big West. This year's meetings are volleyball, already played, and women's basketball in Orem on November 24. Our BYU vs. UVU guide compares the two schools, and UVU athletics, sport by sport covers every Wolverine team.
Southern Utah (Cedar City). One women's basketball game in Provo, on December 9.
Tickets
Home games are sold through BYU's ticket site and the Marriott Center ticket office. BYU students get into volleyball, soccer and women's basketball with a ROC Pass or the Olympic Sports ROC Pass, and attendance at those games counts toward football and men's basketball ticket priority; see our ROC Pass guide. Men's basketball and football tickets work differently and are harder to get, especially against Utah.
Road games are sold by the host school. The November 24 women's game at UVU is the easiest road trip on the list, a short drive north of campus.
