A day after learning the official kickoff time for one of Penn State’s most anticipated regular-season road games of the upcoming season, we now know the official kickoff time for Penn State’s first game of the season. And three more games on the schedule also have kickoff times etched in stone.
FOX announced that Penn State’s Week 1 road opener at Purdue will kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 1. The game had previously been set aside for a Thursday night kickoff, but the official start time had not been confirmed by FOX until today.
Penn State also received another primetime game on its schedule for the fall, but it may not be the one most fans were expecting. Penn State’s home game against Minnesota on October 22 has been set for a primetime kickoff (7:30 p.m. ET) on a network to be determined at a later time.
Penn State’s Week 3 contest at Auburn was recently locked in for a 3:30 p.m. ET start time on CBS.
Here is a quick look at the five officially announced start times or TV plans for games on the 2022 Penn State football schedule that were confirmed on Thursday.
