The Montana Grizzlies will host the Utah Tech Trailblazers on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula. Despite both teams now competing in the Big Sky Conference, this matchup will be counted as a nonconference contest. The game airs on ESPN+ at 3:00 PM ET.
Montana enters the contest undefeated after securing victories against Southern Utah and Drake. The Grizzlies’ most recent win came against Drake with an impressive 45-10 performance. Under head coach Bobby Kennedy, Montana has established strong offensive momentum, with quarterback Keali’i Ah Yat operating behind an improved offensive line that has allowed just one sack through two games. The team has also excelled in rushing production, averaging 139.5 yards per game on the ground.
Utah Tech faces a much different situation, arriving winless after opening their season with difficult matchups against ranked opponents Montana State and BYU. Head coach Lance Anderson seeks his team’s first victory and first road win of the season. The Trailblazers face an uphill challenge, as Montana holds a commanding historical advantage with two previous victories, including a dominant 43-13 win in St. George during 2023.
