2025 Big Ten football schedule by team: Key games, dates, full slate for all 18 conference teams
The Big Ten released its 2025 conference football schedule on Wednesday, giving all 18 league members a glimpse of what future competition will look like next fall. This will be Year 2 of the expanded conference after Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington joined earlier this summer.
Oregon opens Big Ten competition on the road against Northwestern on Sept. 13 before traveling to Happy Valley two weeks later for a matchup against Penn State. The Ducks won't play Michigan or Ohio State next season after playing both schools during the 2024 campaign.
After avoiding a trip to Southern California this season, Michigan will play on the road against USC on Oct. 11. The Wolverines also have road games against Nebraska, Michigan State, Northwestern and Maryland. Michigan hosts Ohio State in the final week of the regular season on Nov. 29.
