UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – For the first time in school history, Penn State will host FOX Big Noon Kickoff and ESPN College GameDay simultaneously this weekend ahead of the Nittany Lions’ matchup with the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes. College GameDay goes on air at 9 a.m. and Big Noon Kickoff is slated to begin at 10 a.m.
Big Noon Kickoff will originate from the Bryce Jordan Center Gate B from 10-11:30 a.m., before moving to the Gate B concourse in Beaver Stadium. The show is in Happy Valley for the fourth time and the second time this season. Penn State's clash with the Buckeyes will kick off at noon on FOX.
For the 11th time in the show’s history, ESPN's College GameDay will be live from University Park. This is the 24th time College GameDay has been hosted at the site of a Penn State game (GameDay has had two other unofficial appearances at Penn State games) and the 13th time at the site of a Penn State-Ohio State game, the most frequent matchup in College GameDay history.
The popular pregame college football program will air live from 9-11:30 a.m. Saturday from Gate C for the Bryce Jordan Center before moving inside of Beaver Stadium for the final half hour. College GameDay makes its return to Happy Valley for the first time since Penn State’s 2021 matchup against Auburn. The Nittany Lions won that contest, 28-20.
