Duke football will play Northwestern on national television in September

The Blue Devils play the Wildcats on the road in the second game of the season on September 6 and Duke fans across the country can tune in.

Duke football will play Northwestern in the second game of the 2024 season on September 6, and Thursday revealed the game would be aired on FS1 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time.

The official game time also revealed the game would be moved to Friday. It will be the Blue Devils’ second consecutive Friday game after the first game will be played against Elon on August 30.

Duke played Northwestern at home in 2023, a 38-14 victory decided by 268 team rushing yards. The Blue Devils averaged 6.7 yards per attempt on the ground against the Wildcats, but Duke’s two leading rushers (former quarterback Riley Leonard with 97 yards and running back Jordan Waters with 65) both departed the program for the transfer portal.

The Blue Devils also learned they’d play Florida State on national television, a 7:00 p.m. game on ESPN2 on October 18, on the same day.

Duke’s season opener against Elon, also a night game at 7:30 p.m., will air on the ACC Network.

More game times will be revealed at later dates.
