Brigham Young University will play its one hundredth season of varsity football in 2024. The one hundred years of Cougar football did not occur consecutively, as BYU, like many other universities, did not field a team for three seasons during World War II. BYU played its inaugural intercollegiate athletic football game on Oct. 7, 1922, at Timpanogos Park in Provo, Utah. On Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024, at LaVell Edwards Stadium, the Cougars will kickoff the 1,086th game in program history and officially begin the 100th season of BYU football.
