First Class Slate of CFB Games this Fall includes Oregon @ Ohio State, Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin, Nebraska @ Oklahoma, Ohio State @ Michigan and More
"BIG NOON KICKOFF" Pregame Show Set to Visit College Campuses/Stadiums including: Ohio State, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Chicago's Soldier Field
This fall, FOX Sports will once again boast a full slate of games to kick off your football watching weekend on Saturday afternoons! FOX has announced several games from their pickings, dealing with the 2021 college football schedule. FOX's schedule is a curation of game selections from the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Mountain West conferences. FOX's college football lineup begins each Saturday morning at 10:00 AM ET with the "BIG NOON KICKOFF" pregame show, with host Rob Stone, analyst Reggie Bush, analyst Matt Leinart, analyst Brady Quinn and newcomer analyst Bob Stoops. "BIG NOON SATURDAY", FOX's main college football game of the week then follows at 12:00 PM ET, with the crew of Gus Johnson (play-by-play), Joel Klatt (analyst) and Jenny Taft (SLR) reprising their roles to cover the action.
FOX's 2021 college football schedule is baked with the sport's most exciting non-conference games and well-liked rivalry games. In September, for instance, Oregon travels East to Columbus to play Ohio State in a non-conference game. This game, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 11 at 12:00 PM ET, is apart of the Week 2 slate. In addition, "BIG NOON KICKOFF" is scheduled to have a pregame presence live at the Shoe, prior to the game. Oregon-Ohio State begins a big-time slate of sports on FOX that weekend, including Yankees at Mets on Saturday night and a NFL Week 1 doubleheader, including Packers at Saints or Broncos at Giants in America's Game of the Week, on Sunday afternoon.
The newest member of the CFB on FOX team, Bob Stoops, returns to Norman with the "BIG NOON KICKOFF" team in Week 3 as Oklahoma plays host to Big 12 rival Nebraska on Saturday, Sept. 18 at 12:00 PM ET. Wrapping up the opening month of the season, Notre Dame and Wisconsin will play at Chicago's Soldier Field on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 12:00 PM ET (Week 4). This year's meeting of the Fighting Irish and Badgers will be their first encounter in over 50 years.
Plus, the Big Ten is again in the spotlight for FOX's college football schedule. The Big Ten schedule kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 8:00 PM ET, as Ohio State visits Minnesota in a rare FOX midweek broadcast. Then, two days later, on Sept. 4, Penn State visits Wisconsin in the first "BIG NOON SATURDAY" telecast of the season. "BIG NOON KICKOFF" will be on-site in Minneapolis and Madision prior to these telecasts. Of course, the CFB season winds down with yet another installment of Ohio State and Michigan during Thanksgiving weekend, Saturday, Nov. 27 (Week 13) at 12:00 PM ET.
FOX's CFB regular season coverage wraps on Saturday, Dec. 4 (Week 14) with the Mountain West Championship and the Big Ten Championship games, both on FOX.
College football can be streamed/simulcasted through the FOX Sports app (regardless of what network is broadcasting the game: FOX and/or FS1).
