It’ll be cold and dark when Washington State and Cal kick off next Saturday at Martin Stadium.

The Cougars and Golden Bears drew a 7:30 p.m. start time when the Pac-12 Conference announced kickoffs for games taking place on Dec. 12.

The television network for the game will be decided at a later time.

Other kickoff times for games on the same day are as follows: Washington at Oregon (1 p.m., FOX), USC at UCLA (4:30 p.m., ABC), Stanford at Oregon State (7:30 p.m., TBD).

The Golden Bears are 1-3 but coming off their lone win of the season, a 21-17 victory over then No. 23 Oregon at Memorial Stadium. Cal holds a 48-28 edge in the all-time series and the Golden Bears have won four of the last six matchups, including last year’s game in Berkeley. WSU won the last game played at Martin Stadium, 19-13, in 2018.
