What Radio Station Is the BYU Game On?

AvatarByMatthew Yates Sports Radio & Game Broadcasts

For live BYU football, use the BYUradio App or byuradio.org; they are the official live listening destinations during each game. There is not one universal AM or FM frequency that works everywhere, and SiriusXM channel assignments can change by matchup. Start with the official BYUradio stream, then use a game-specific SiriusXM listing if you prefer satellite radio.

What Carries BYU Football Games

BYUradio is the regular home for BYU football play-by-play. You can listen online through the BYUradio website or on a phone or tablet through the BYUradio App.

That answer is different from asking what TV channel carries the game.

Use the live audio stream when you want to hear the game.

How to Listen to a BYU Football Game Live

Choose the listening route that fits the device you have available.

Listening Situation Best Route What You Need
Phone, tablet, computer, or connected speaker BYUradio App or byuradio.org Internet connection
SiriusXM car receiver, home receiver, or app Current game’s SiriusXM listing SiriusXM access and the assigned game feed
You are unsure whether a game is live Confirm the opponent and date first Current schedule or game listing
You want BYU’s announcers Look for the BYUradio feed A live BYUradio stream or assigned satellite feed

Step 1: Identify the Exact Game

  1. Confirm that the event is a BYU football game rather than basketball, volleyball, or another BYU sport.
  2. Check the opponent and game date before tuning in. A radio or satellite listing for a previous game may still appear in search results.
  3. If you are asking about “the BYU game today,” make sure BYU actually plays that day. A schedule page, current score page, or live listing will settle that before you spend time searching for audio.

This quick check helps you find the listed game feed.

Step 2: Use the Official BYUradio Stream

  1. Open the BYUradio App, or visit the BYUradio football page in a web browser.
  2. Look for the current live football broadcast rather than a previous game’s “Full Broadcast” replay.
  3. Start the player and confirm that the announcers are calling the current opponent and current game action.
  4. If you hear an archived game, return to the live player instead of continuing with the replay listing.

Step 3: Use SiriusXM Only After Checking That Game’s Listing

  1. Search for the current BYU matchup in SiriusXM’s college-football listings.
  2. Choose the feed you want: the BYU broadcast, the opponent’s broadcast, or a national call.
  3. Tune the listed channel on your SiriusXM receiver or in the SiriusXM app.
  4. Confirm the teams in the opening call before settling in.

For the BYU–Texas Tech football game, SiriusXM assigned the BYUradio feed to Ch. 143. Mad Dog Sports Radio was on Ch. 82 for the BYU–Texas Tech football game. For the BYU–Texas Tech football game, the Texas Tech feed was on SiriusXM College Sports Radio Ch. 84, while ESPN Radio carried the national broadcast on Ch. 80.

A satellite-radio receiver can provide a game feed without tying up a phone.

How SiriusXM BYU Game Feeds Differ

  • BYU radio feed: Usually the best choice if you want the Cougar announcers, familiar terminology, and BYU-focused pregame and postgame coverage.
  • Opponent radio feed: Useful when you want to hear the other team’s perspective or are following a road game.
  • National radio feed: A neutral broadcast that may be preferable if you are listening with fans of both teams.

The channel used for one game is not a guarantee for the next one.

When the BYU Game Is Not Football

The official live-football guidance applies specifically to BYU football. BYUradio covers BYU sports programming more broadly, but a football streaming route does not guarantee that every basketball or other BYU athletic event will have the same audio availability.

If you are trying to find a BYU basketball game, begin with the game’s official event listing and look for a radio, streaming-audio, or television designation tied to that matchup. Conference arrangements, tournament rights, and national broadcasts can affect where an individual game is heard.

This is also why a search for “what channel is BYU on” can return several different answers:

  • A TV channel is for the video broadcast.
  • A radio stream is the audio broadcast.
  • A SiriusXM channel carries a satellite-radio feed.

How to Confirm You Have the Right BYU Broadcast

Before kickoff or during the opening minutes, use this short check:

  • The announced opponent matches the game you intend to hear.
  • The date and score match the current event.
  • The announcers are describing live action, not a replay from a previous season.
  • The stream is playing through the device you intended to use.
  • If using SiriusXM, the selected feed matches the home, away, or national call you wanted.

If the player loads but you hear no sound, first check the device’s volume output. Phones and tablets often remain connected to Bluetooth earbuds, a car stereo, or another speaker even when you expect audio from the device itself. On a computer, also confirm that the browser tab is not muted.

One forum user reports that a Google TV stick can show a game’s score while the game is heard on radio. That setup can be helpful when you want the radio call.

Frequently Asked Questions

What radio station can I listen to for live BYU football?

Use the BYUradio App or byuradio.org for live BYU football coverage. Those are the official recurring listening options for BYU football games, regardless of where you are listening from.

What SiriusXM channel is the BYU game on?

The channel depends on the matchup. For BYU–Texas Tech, the BYUradio feed was on Ch. 143, with additional options on Ch. 82, Ch. 84, and Ch. 80; check the current game’s SiriusXM listing before tuning in.

What time and TV channel is the BYU game on?

The kickoff or tipoff time and TV channel depend on the current matchup, so check the current game listing for both. A TV channel is for the video broadcast, not the football radio broadcast. For football radio, use the BYUradio App or byuradio.org.

Did BYU play today?

Check the current BYU schedule, score listing, or live game page to confirm whether BYU played that day. If the game has already ended, BYUradio’s football archive includes full broadcasts from past games.

Can I listen to the BYU game on my phone?

Yes. Open the BYUradio App on your phone during a live BYU football game, or use your phone’s browser to play byuradio.org. Verify that the live player identifies the current opponent before relying on it.

What should I do if I cannot find the game audio?

First confirm the sport, opponent, and date, then try the official BYUradio App or byuradio.org for football. If you are using SiriusXM, choose from the home team, away team, and national feeds.
