Headlined by the Nittany Lions hosting Michigan for a noon kickoff, Penn State and the Big Ten announced Wednesday afternoon four more kickoff times with three of those announcements including TV designations.
Additionally, Penn State’s previously announced 8 p.m. kick against Iowa has been moved to 7:30 p.m. That game will still air on CBS.
The Nittany Lions’ clash against Michigan on Nov. 11 will be part of FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff programming marking the second-straight season Penn State’s marquee home game of the year has kicked off at noon. Last season the Nittany Lions fell just short against Ohio State at Beaver Stadium with that game kicking at noon as well.
The Michigan game will mark the second time Penn State will be featured on Fox’s premiere college football broadcast of the weekend. An earlier season game at Illinois on Sept. 16 will be a noon kickoff.
Prior to conference play, Penn State’s clash with Delaware on Sept. 9 will head the streaming service route on Peacock, an NBC-affiliated streaming platform, and that game will kick at 3:30 p.m. [NBC announced this as a noon kick but the Big Ten announced as 3:30, story will be updated]. Lastly, Penn State’s homecoming game against UMass on Oct. 14 is slated for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff with a network designation to be determined. The UMass game falls just after Penn State’s off week and the week prior to the Nittany Lions’ trip to Ohio State. Kick time for that game has not been announced.
Kick times and network designations have been made for the following Penn State games so far.
- Sept. 2 vs. West Virginia – 7:30 p.m. on NBC (streaming on Peacock)
- Sept. 9 vs. Delaware – 3:30 p.m. on Peacock
- Sept. 16 at Illinois – noon on FOX
