The first four Big Ten Saturday Night on NBC football games of the 2025 season have been set, the network announced Thursday.
Big Ten Saturday Night on NBC this season will debut on Saturday, Aug. 30 with the Michigan Wolverines hosting the New Mexico Lobos at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. The game will kickoff at 7:30pm ET / 4:30pm PT and will be televised by NBC and streamed via Peacock.
The following week on Saturday, Sept. 6, the Michigan State Spartans will host the Boston College Eagles at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Mich. The game will also kickoff at 7:30pm ET (6:30pm CT / 5:30pm MT) with live coverage via NBC and Peacock.
The Big Ten Saturday Night contest in Week 3 will be a Peacock exclusive, and it features the Ohio State Buckeyes hosting the Ohio Bobcats at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The game will air on Peacock at 7:00pm ET.
The early-season Big Ten Saturday Night schedule is highlighted by the Penn State Nittany Lions hosting the 2024 Big Ten champion Oregon Ducks on Sept. 27. The game will kickoff at 7:30pm ET with coverage via NBC and Peacock.

The Big Ten will have three premier windows for college football broadcasts on Saturdays, beginning at noon ET with the Big Noon Kickoff on FOX. Games will then follow on CBS at 3:30pm ET and on NBC in primetime.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULES

UNM and Michigan, *yawn
I have no issue with CBS showing cupcake game Penn State hosting Nevada also in first week of 2025 CFB season similar to NBC showing Michigan hosting New Mexico good news that is My #1 game in evening time slot.
Game should never happen. When the new CFP era begins, power conference schools should only play power conference schools. No more FCS, no more G6
I wish I have better news to tell you John pardon me for disagreeing with your post however I respect your opinion no matter what.
With recent proposal Big Ten-SEC meet once. Here are my three P4 OOC games that I like to continue play not related to Big Ten-SEC alliance.
1. Notre Dame-USC: Third Saturday in October every year perfect fit.
2. Iowa-Iowa State: A Fan when they meet in September.
3. Georgia-Georgia Tech: Favorite Thanksgiving weekend match up although I am open for it to move in September or perhaps October.
This is half of a dream Big Ten TV schedule for Saturday 10/11 again this is only a mock schedule.
FOX at Noon will show Northwestern at Penn State
FS1 at 3:30PM will show Indiana at Oregon
CBS at 3:30PM will show Ohio State at Illinois
NBC at 7:30PM will show Michigan at USC
I am flexible BTN tripleheader schedule & Peacock with either Noon or 3:30PM kickoff.
To me, B1G Saturday Night is only that which is on NBC. So, Ohio at Ohio State doesn’t count.
Hawaii Dave Peacock DOES count as NBC.
Beside Ohio at Ohio State, I really like to see Peacock do two more Saturday evening games when sister station NBC is committed with Notre Dame 10/18 Oregon at Rutgers & 11/8 Nebraska at UCLA those last two are just educated guesses.
When I watch a game on BTN it will count for FOX.
When I watch a game on SECN it will count for ESPN.
When I watch a game on TNT it will count for Warner Brothers/Discovery.
“it features the Ohio State Buckeyes hosting the Ohio Bobcats at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.”
That’s a whole lotta Ohio in one sentence.
Ohio
