When the rest comes

The Big Ten set every team's 2027 conference opponents, home and away, on October 5, 2023. Its 2027 dates aren't out yet. Last year the Big Ten published 2026's dates on January 27, 2026.

Kickoff times and TV channels are set during the season, many only a week or two ahead. Once ESPN carries the 2027 season, after this season's playoff final, this address moves to the Northwestern Wildcats schedule page, with times and TV as they're set and a calendar that fills in by itself.
