Dates have been set for the three-game Arizona-BYU football series in 2016, 2018, and 2020, according to a copy of the term sheet posted online.

The two schools agreed to the series last month and announced it jointly via a Google Hangout.

The first game of the series will be played on September 3, 2016 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Per the document, Big 12 officials will be utilized for this season-opening neutral site game. Other details of this game were revealed, including ticket allotments, sections, prices, etc.

If either school cancels the neutral site game, they must pay a $750,000 fee to the other institution and $250,000 to the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority.

The 2018 and 2020 games will be played at campus sites. Arizona will host BYU at Arizona Stadium in Tucson on September 1, 2018. This will be the season-opener for both schools.

The third and final game of the series will be played at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah on September 12, 2020.

In their last meeting in 2008, Arizona defeated BYU 31-21 in the Las Vegas Bowl. Arizona leads the overall series 12-9-1, but the last four games have been an even split.
