Broadcast time and network announced for Ohio State vs. Michigan 2026

"The Game" between Ohio State and Michigan remains one of the most anticipated college football games of the season, and arguably the biggest of the regular season. Historical television viewership would confirm that it's a big deal, and on Monday, the time and network of one of the best rivalries in all of sports was announced.

According to social media, the annual grudge match between the Buckeyes and Wolverines in Columbus on Saturday, Nov. 28, this fall will again be a Noon ET game and televised on Fox as a part of the Big Noon Kickoff. And while most OSU fans hate that window, "The Game" is traditionally in the Noon window, so it's unlikely to ruffle too many feathers.

Fox has broadcast OSU vs. Michigan nine straight times since it became the preferred broadcast partner of the Big Ten in 2017. The only one not a part of the broadcast was the 2020 game that was canceled because of COVID-19.

Ohio State is expected to be a contender for the College Football Playoff once again, and Michigan figures to be better with another year with quarterback Bryce Underwood and a new culture under shiny new head coach Kyle Whittingham. It's yet to be seen just how good both teams will be, or what the records will say, but we know the intrigue and intensity will be ramped up as it always is.
