The football season opener for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will not take place on the original scheduled date. WKU announced Tuesday that the game with UT-Chattanooga, which was scheduled for Thursday, September 3, will now be moved to a later date to be determined.
WKU Director of Athletics Todd Stewart said “given the recent changes among many programs regarding their start date for the upcoming football season, WKU and Chattanooga have mutually agreed to not play during the opening week of the season and will move our game to a date later in the season. We are looking at a couple options, and we will announce the new 2020 game date as soon as it is finalized.”
With that decision, and as a precautionary measure related to the program’s COVID-19 testing last week, WKU’s formal fall camp will not begin Wednesday. The start of fall camp for WKU football will be announced as soon as WKU’s non-conference schedule is finalized.
