Overview
- FOX and school accounts announced Monday that Oklahoma at Michigan will kick off Sept. 12 at noon ET on FOX as part of the network’s Big Noon package.
- Ohio State vs. Michigan is set for Nov. 28 at noon ET on FOX, continuing the rivalry’s recent home in the early window with Big Noon Kickoff.
- FOX has bought back the Big Ten Championship Game window from NBC, with multiple reports placing the sale at roughly $45 million to $55 million.
- FOX’s majority stake in Big Ten Network gives it effective control over sublicensing, which helped drive the title-game deal and leaves NBC and CBS competing for games FOX does not take first.
- The OU–Michigan meeting is a rematch of the Sooners’ 24–13 win in 2025, with Michigan now under new coach Kyle Whittingham and Oklahoma returning QB John Mateer and OC Ben Arbuckle, while former Wolverines linebacker Cole Sullivan transferred to the Sooners.
