With COVID-19 preventing the annual Cougar Kickoff this year, BYU fans around the world can still celebrate the start of a new sports season digitally during BYU's Virtual Fan Fest on Saturday, August 8.

Starting in the morning and continuing with a wide variety of activities throughout the day, fans can hear from players and coaches, participate in contests, download digital BYU swag and much more through Cougar digital and social media channels.

Here's the complete list of Virtual Fan Fest activities:
