Big Ten Sets Oct. 17 Kickoff Times

Penn State will visit Michigan on Oct. 17 at 3:30 p.m. ET at Michigan Stadium, in a game that will be Michigan’s Homecoming; the broadcast network has not been announced, and the game will not be in prime time. It will be the teams’ first meeting since 2023, and Michigan has won the past three games in the series. The matchup has lost some early-season significance, with both teams 3-2 overall and 0-2 in conference play after consecutive losses. The Big Ten also scheduled Michigan State’s home game against Northwestern for noon on Peacock; it will be coach Pat Fitzgerald’s first matchup against his alma mater and former Spartan quarterback Aidan Chiles.
