After back-to-back late-night home games, the Colorado Buffaloes will get things going a little earlier when they visit the TCU Horned Frogs on Oct. 4.

As announced by the Big 12 Conference on Monday, Colorado's Week 6 game at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, will kick off at 5:30 p.m. MT (6:30 p.m. CT) and be nationally televised on Fox. All six of Colorado's announced games this season have been selected by ESPN or Fox, including this upcoming weekend's matchup against the BYU Cougars (ESPN).

Colorado Buffaloes vs. TCU Horned Frogs Kickoff Time, TV Selection

With a 6:30 p.m. local time kickoff in Fort Worth, the temperature should be ideal for Colorado's second conference road game. Coach Deion Sanders will make his first trip to TCU since 2023, when he led Colorado to an emotional 45-42 victory in his first game leading the Buffs.

Several players from that 2023 team are still with the Buffs, including linebacker Jeremiah Brown, kicker Alejandro Mata, offensive lineman Kareem Harden and safety Ben Finneseth.

After beating the Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday, Colorado sits 2-2 overall (0-1 Big 12). TCU is currently 3-0 heading into its first conference game against the Arizona State Sun Devils this upcoming weekend.
