A huge part of the 2024 college football season is the full debut of the Big Ten on CBS as the conference moves into the iconic broadcast spot at 3:30 p.m. ET at a time when the league has, literally, never been bigger. In total, the CBS Sports college football schedule includes five different doubleheaders and three prime-time games, the last of which will be CBS’s inaugural broadcast of the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 7 at 8 p.m from Indianapolis.
As October rolls along, CBS will be home to one of the most-anticipated Big Ten showdowns of the season as Penn State heads out west to battle USC on Saturday, Oct. 12 in a matchup that fans have been looking forward to since the Trojans joined the league. The following week, on Oct. 19, Michigan goes on the road to square off with a tough Illinois squad.
Some of the mainstays from CBS’s traditional schedule remain, including a spotlight on the service academies with Navy at Air Force (Oct. 5), Air Force at Army (Nov. 2) and the Army-Navy Game (Dec. 14). CBS will wrap up the college football season by airing the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl on Dec. 30.
Those selections, and the rest of the yet-to-be-determined matchups in the schedule below, will be announced six to 12 days in advance of the games
