We’re slightly more than five months removed from the 2022 season and about three-and-a-half months from the upcoming season, and some logistics are being worked out.
College football teams are announcing a handful of times and channels for games in 2023, such as Michigan State’s announcement that it will play Ohio State on Nov. 11, 2023 in a rare late-season night game on NBC.
Though newer things such as the partnership with NBC and CBS are exciting, one thing hasn’t changed: the Big Ten’s partnership with Fox. As usual, Michigan football will host Ohio State on the final Saturday of November, and the game will be at noon on Fox, presumably with “Big Noon Kickoff” in tow.

The Game is almost always a noon kickoff, and Fox gets first pick within the Big Ten. Considering it is the marquee game not only in the conference but in college football, it makes sense that game would emerge on the network.
It’s not always a noon kick, though it almost always is. In the famed ‘game of the century’ in 2006, when the No. 1 Buckeyes hosted the No. 2 Wolverines, the game kicked off in Columbus at 3:30 p.m.
Michigan football will host this year’s edition of The Game at The Big House boasting a two-year winning streak. Last year’s 45-23 win was at The Horseshoe and the 42-27 contest in 2021 was at Michigan Stadium.
