The Arizona Wildcats football team, whose five-game losing streak to end last season all came on the ESPN/ABC family of networks, is slated for at least four 2011 games on those networks.
Three of the games already had been known, with the Pac-10 conference announcing Tuesday that Stanford’s game at Arizona on Sept. 17 also will be on ESPN. The league released its early TV schedule for the season.
Arizona will play three times on ESPN or ESPN2 in September, all against teams that are likely to begin the season in the preseason Top 10, all against teams that defeated the Wildcats last season.
Games on Fox Sports Net/Versus/FX will be announced in early June.
Here is Arizona’s ESPN TV schedule, with more telecast information from the family of networks still to be determined.
