Many traditions and events associated with the Big Game take place during the week leading up to the annual football contest between Bay Area rivals California and Stanford. Below are the highlights of known activities and public events in the Cal community the week leading up to the 128th Big Game at Stanford Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 22. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. The game will be televised by the ACC Network.

In addition, Wheeler Hall, Doe Library, the Campanile and Sather Gate on the Cal campus will be lit in blue and gold each night from sunset until 2 a.m. PT during the week leading up to Saturday's Big Game.

Cal has won the Big Game for each of the last four seasons and five of the last six, including three in a row at Stanford. The football rivalry between the Bay Area schools dates back to 1892 and is the sixth-longest active running series between two Football Bowl Subdivision teams. The series is also the sixth-longest overall between two FBS programs and the second-longest in the West. The Big Game has been determined by a touchdown or less 56 times and on five occasions has been won on the final play, including arguably the most storied play in college football history – The Play in 1982.
