A New Era of Utes Football Broadcasts
Bill Riley is set to begin his 18th season as the Voice of the Utes, delivering play‑by‑play commentary for every 2026 football broadcast on ESPN 700 and 92.1 FM.

Stevenson Sylvester, a former Utah linebacker who was a key member of the undefeated 2008 team that captured the Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama, transitions from his previous role as sideline reporter to color analyst. His deep‑rooted experience and intimate knowledge of the program add a unique perspective to the broadcast.
Zack Moss, the 2019 Pac‑12 Offensive Player of the Year and a five‑year NFL veteran, makes his broadcasting debut as a sideline reporter. Moss brings a player’s insight and recent professional experience that will enrich the pre‑game and post‑game segments.
The upcoming season will feature four hours of pre‑game coverage and two‑hour post‑game shows on ESPN 700 and 92.1 FM, with extensive interviews, expert analysis, and live streaming available through UtahUtes.com and the ESPN 700 app. The broadcasts promise to deepen fan engagement across the state.
