FOX Sports has officially announced their 2023 college football on-air roster, loaded with some of the sport's most recognizable faces covering both studio and game coverage. Each Saturday, FOX's coverage of college football starts by going live on a college campus with BIG NOON KICKOFF at 10:00 AM (ET) on FOX, followed by BIG NOON SATURDAY at 12:00 PM (ET) on FOX -- college football's most-watched window on any network for the second straight season (2021 and 2022).

For this season, FOX welcomes Heisman Trophy Winner & National Champion Mark Ingram II to the BIG NOON KICKOFF family. Ingram II joins host returning Rob Stone, and analysts and college football legends Brady Quinn, Matt Leinart and Urban Meyer. BIG NOON KICKOFF is planning to be on the road for every single week of college football season, beginning with the Colorado vs. TCU game from Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, September 2 at 10:00 AM (ET).

Another new face on FOX's college football coverage in 2023 is former longtime ESPN personality Chris "The Bear" Fallica. "The Bear" will serve as a sports wagering expert on BIG NOON KICKOFF, bringing decades of sports betting and general college football experience to the program. Reporter Tom Rinaldi provides in-depth features of college football players and coaches on and off the playing field, and insider Bruce Feldman furnishes viewers with up-to-the-minute information about college football.

The co-host of FS1's daily studio show SPEAK Emmanuel Acho, former University of Washington head coach Chris Petersen, and studio host Mike Hill return for their third season together and lead FOX Sports' studio coverage during halftime, game breaks, and much more from Los Angeles, California.

Game action will kick off each Saturday afternoon at 12:00 PM (ET) with Gus Johnson (play-by-play), Joel Klatt (analyst) & Jenny Taft (reporter) on the call for the BIG NOON SATURDAY game of the week.

For the second straight season, FOX's CFB #2 team consists of Jason Benetti (play-by-play), former Seahawks and University of Washington quarterback Brock Huard and reporter Allison Williams (you might know her from her time at ESPN). They begin Week 1 from Austin, Texas with Rice at Texas on Saturday, September 2 at 3:30 PM (ET).

Longtime broadcasting partners Tim Brando and Spencer Tillman mark the advent of their ninth year together for FOX Sports. They will open the season on Saturday, August 26 with a Week 0 matchup between Ohio and San Diego State from San Diego, California at 7:00 PM (ET) on FS1. They will then travel to East Lansing, Michigan, for Central Michigan at Michigan State on Friday, September 1 at 7:00 PM (ET) on FS1.
