We have an official kickoff time for one of the most anticipated games in Memorial Stadium history.
As is the case each season, the Big Ten is rolling out kick times and television designations a couple weeks ahead of each game.
Indiana’s showdown against Ohio State on Oct. 17 will kick at 12 p.m. ET and air to a national audience on FOX. It will mark the second week in a row IU gets the FOX Noon selection. FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show is expected to be on site, and we understand ESPN’s College Gameday is also a possibility.
The game will feature a pair of top-10 teams and will be a rematch of the 2025 Big Ten Championship game. It is expected to have major implications in the chase for the 2026 league title and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Ohio State has opened the season 4-1 with its lone loss coming at No. 1 Texas. The Buckeyes are No. 5 in the AP top-25, and No. 6 in the coaches poll.
