Big Ten Football Schedule

College football fans, we've got you!

Posted on Jun 21, 2024 | 04:00pm

Big Ten Football on CBS is ready for a big year. CBS is expanding its Big Ten football coverage, and with the storied West Coast programs USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington joining the fray, there are more marquee games than ever to watch live.

2024 will mark CBS Sports’ first season of carrying a marquee Big Ten matchup every Saturday in the network’s traditional 3:30 PM, ET, college-football window. In another first for CBS, the network will broadcast its first-ever, season-culminating Big Ten football game, the Big Ten Championship. All Big Ten Football on CBS live games can be watched on your local CBS TV station, and/or streamed live on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® plan.

Highlights of the announced Big Ten Football on CBS 2024 schedule include the Big Ten's Purdue Boilermakers squaring off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in an out-of-conference matchup. Plus, in a clash of college-football titans (and, as of this fall, in-conference rivals), the USC Trojans will visit the reigning national champion Michigan Wolverines (with new head coach Sherrone Moore) at The Big House to mark Southern Cal's inaugural Big Ten road game as a member of the powerhouse sports conference.
