Cal v. Virginia College Football 2025 Kick-Off Time Announced
The California Golden Bears will host the No. 16 Virginia Cavaliers Saturday afternoon
The California Golden Bears (5-3, 2-2 ACC) and No. 16 Virginia Cavaliers (7-1, 4-0 ACC) college football game will kick off on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 12:45 p.m. Pacific, according to announcements from Cal Athletics and the Atlantic Coast Conference late Saturday evening.
The Cal v. Virginia football game will air on ESPN2.
Cal has not faced off against a nationally ranked team in the 2025 college football season.
The last time the Golden Bears hosted a top-25 team was on Oct. 5, 2025, when ESPN’s “College GameDay” visited Berkeley, Calif., for the match-up against the then-ranked No. 8 Miami Hurricanes.
Hooray, a day game! The past couple of weeks Virginia has struggled mightily against WSU and NC. Time for the Bears to get a win vs. a ranked opponent.
Finally! A day game in Strawberry Canyon as Oski intended.
