The California Golden Bears (2-3, 1-1 ACC) and Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-1, 2-1 ACC) will compete in a Saturday evening game, the Atlantic Coast Conference and Cal Athletics announced Monday morning.
Cal v. Wake Forest will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Pacific at Databricks Field at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif.
ESPN is the broadcast network for the football game. Cal v. Wake Forest will air on ESPN or ESPN2, with the actual network finalized after this weekend’s games.
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will travel to Strawberry Canyon for the first time in program history. The two teams have only met once previously in Cal’s inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, a 46-36, victory in Wake Forest, N.C., in 2024.
Too many night games!! Terrible effect on attendance!
I haven't missed a home game since 2012 and only the one since 1989, but I'm going to pass on this one. I've had enough of night games. Even though I live walking distance from the stadium getting home at midnight is too much at my age. Takes two days to recover. Already done it twice this season. One of the things I most miss about the "old days" is regular starting times and them always being in the afternoon.
