Home games for the Colorado State football team will be afternoon and evening for the second year in a row in 2023.

The Mountain West announced TV designations and kick times for many games Wednesday, and the Rams will play in the popular afternoon and evening slots at home.

No kicks at home in 2022 were later than 5 p.m., and it looks to be a similar trend in 2023.

The announced home times are:

  • Sept. 2: Washington State at CSU, 5 p.m. (CBS Sports Network)
  • Sept. 30: Utah Tech at CSU, 5 p.m. (TV TBA)
  • Oct. 28: Air Force at CSU, 5 p.m. (CBSSN)
  • Nov. 11: San Diego State at CSU, 5 p.m. (CBSSN)
  • Nov. 18: Nevada at CSU, 1 p.m. (TV TBA)

The Oct. 14 home game against Boise State will have the TV time announced 12 days out.

Not all road games for CSU have an announced time: The Sept. 16 Rocky Mountain Showdown at Colorado will be played at 8 p.m. The Border War against Wyoming has been moved to a Friday (Nov. 3) and will begin at 6 p.m. It will be broadcast on CBSSN. The Sept. 23 game at Middle Tennessee will be at 5 p.m.
