The Bruins will host Illinois on Friday, Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. PT at the Rose Bowl. The game will air on FOX. The majority of the remaining UCLA kick times won't be announced until either a week or two before the games.

The federal government promised FIFA’s president that if Canada was granted World Cup matches, it was willing to provide some labour law exemptions — by issuing special permits stretching certain workers’ hours or overriding their mandated days of rest.
The assurance was put in writing, in a February 2018 letter from then-employment minister Patty Hajdu to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, which was released under Canada’s access-to-information laws. A copy of the previously released records were then obtained by the Star.
Three-star defensive lineman Godschoice Eboigbodin out of San Juan Capistrano (Calif.) JSerra Catholic has committed to the Bruins.
He has only played one year of high school ball after coming in to the states from Nigeria as predominately a basketball player.
He’s rated a high three-star with an 89 Rating and a definite, ‘four-star’ watch prospect this coming season with a full year under his belt.
The 6-0, 180-pounder from Forth Worth (Tex.) North Crowley committed to Georgia in early March, but he then unofficially visited UCLA last week. UCLA not only beat out Georgia, but Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, Texas Tech, SMU, Ole Miss, Baylor, Notre Dame, Florida, Tennessee and others had offered Outhouse.
According to Rivals' Industry Recruiting Rankings, Jerry Outhouse Jr is the 109th ranked player in the country, the 15th ranked cornerback in the class, and the 14th ranked player out of Texas. Outhouse becomes UCLA's second highest ranked recruit behind George Toia who committed to the Bruins on Thursday.
UCLA has landed the commitment of offensive lineman Jackson Roper. The Top247 prospect is ranked the No. 9 interior offensive lineman in the country and the No. 1 player in the state of Colorado.
Four-star defensive lineman George Toia has committed to UCLA. The Trophy Club (Texas) Byron Nelson Top247 standout is regarded as one of the top defensive line prospects in the nation.
According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Toia is the No. 8 DL in the country. He is the Bruins' seventh defensive commit and second defensive lineman in the 2027 class.
He is the younger brother of Jay Toia, who played at UCLA for four years from 2021-2024 before being drafted by the Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
FIFA's marketplace for resale World Cup tickets no longer has seats listed for Toronto matches after a new price cap came into effect last week.
The Ontario legislation bans people and platforms from reselling seats to events in the province for more than face value.
FIFA says its resale platform is being reconfigured to comply with the legislation that became law Friday.

The Boston 2026 World Cup host committee has announced that tailgating will be permitted at Gillette Stadium despite it previously stating it would be banned.
FIFA sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, had said the governing body will work with local authorities to determine what is and isn’t safe before a decision is made on whether tailgating is allowed at each venue.
Tailgating will not be permitted at Lumen Field in Seattle due to its city centre location, but the pre-match gatherings are also banned during the NFL season.
