The Pac-12 has approved Utah's request to cancel the Arizona at Utah football game scheduled for November 7.

The conference said the decision was made because Utah does not have the minimum number of scholarship players available for the game due to positive COVID-19 cases and additional players remain isolated under contact tracing protocols.

Utah has not released the total number of players who tested positive for the coronavirus or were unavailable due to contact tracing.

Per Pac-12 policy, the season-opening game is ruled no contest. The league requires at least 53 scholarship players to be available for a game.
