Mountain West football under the lights in Las Vegas. The UNLV Rebels host the Wyoming Cowboys at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with kickoff at 7:30 PM Pacific Time, according to the official listings from UNLV Athletics and Allegiant Stadium. UNLV lists the game as a Salute to Service, honoring the military community and first responders. It is the Rebels’ first home game after the Halloween meeting with NIU, and it starts the final month of the regular season, when conference standings tighten and every home game carries weight.
Wyoming is one of the Mountain West’s most physical programs, built on defense and a grinding running game, which makes this a useful measuring stick for a UNLV team whose remaining schedule includes a road trip to Fresno State and the season-ending rivalry game against UNR. The Cowboys travel well, and the brown and gold usually shows up in the visiting sections at Allegiant Stadium. For neutral fans, the appeal is simpler: a Saturday night conference game in an NFL stadium, with ticket prices well below what the same seats cost when the Raiders are at home the next day.
Date and time
UNLV vs. Wyoming is on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is at 7:30 PM Pacific Time, according to the official UNLV and Allegiant Stadium listings. Las Vegas is on Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8) on this date, following the November 1 clock change, so the game is played entirely after dark. College games last around three hours, putting the finish near 10:30 PM; gates and security lines are busiest in the final half hour before kickoff, so arriving by 6:30 PM leaves time for the pregame ceremonies tied to the Salute to Service theme.
Venue
Allegiant Stadium is at 3333 Al Davis Way, Las Vegas, NV 89118, just west of Interstate 15 and the Strip, opposite Mandalay Bay. The enclosed, climate-controlled stadium seats about 65,000 for football and serves as home to both UNLV and the Las Vegas Raiders. UNLV game days bring the student section, the Star of Nevada marching band and the school’s cannon tradition into an NFL building, which makes the atmosphere feel bigger than a typical college home game. The stadium operates cashless and enforces a clear-bag policy, so plan wallets and bags accordingly.
Tickets
Single-game tickets are available through the official UNLV Athletics and Allegiant Stadium listings. Neither listing publishes a starting ticket price on its event page, so check the official UNLV tickets page for current prices by section, including fees, before you buy. Lower-bowl seats along the sidelines offer the classic football view, while the stadium’s upper levels are a budget-friendly way to see an Allegiant Stadium game. Buy through official channels where possible, use mobile entry, and compare the total checkout price rather than the first price shown on any resale marketplace.
Getting to Allegiant Stadium
The most popular route on foot is from the south Strip: the Hacienda Avenue bridge, closed to vehicles on event days, links Mandalay Bay and the Luxor area directly to the stadium in about fifteen minutes. Drivers will find game-day lots around the stadium and at nearby resorts, reached from Russell Road and Dean Martin Drive, but Saturday night traffic on the south Strip is heavy, so allow at least an extra 45 minutes. RTC transit and rideshare serve designated stadium zones; after the game, walking a block or two away from the stadium usually produces a faster pickup.
