ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference, in partnership with Big Ten Network, CBS Sports, FOX Sports and NBC Sports, announced on Thursday kickoff times and network designations for the first three weeks of the 2024 football season, along with select additional contests.
The 2024 campaign will be the first featuring a full schedule of Big Ten football on three over-the-air broadcast networks (CBS, FOX, NBC) in addition to comprehensive cable coverage across Big Ten Network and FS1, and direct-to-consumer delivery via Peaco*ck, the FOX Sports app, and Paramount+. At least 55 conference football games will air on broadcast networks throughout the fall, providing unprecedented access and exposure.
