Memphis travels to Allegiant Stadium to face UNLV on Saturday, August 29th at 10:00 PM EDT in one of the first games of the 2025 college football season. Both programs enter at 0-0, making every snap a clean slate and every early-season rep a chance to set the tone for the months ahead.
The venue alone makes this appointment viewing. Allegiant Stadium — home of the Las Vegas Raiders — gives the matchup a showcase feel, and a late-night kickoff on the Strip adds a stage few Week 0 games can match. For two programs looking to make an early statement, the spotlight is already waiting.
Season openers are about establishing identity, and this one gives both teams a true road-neutral test before conference play ramps up. If you love college football's return, this is the night to settle in.
