Ohio State vs. UCLA: Kickoff time, TV channel announced

COLUMBUS — Ohio State will host a night game in the Horseshoe in November for the second time in the last three seasons.

The Buckeyes hosted Michigan State two years ago, back on Nov. 11, 2023, marking the latest night game in the history of the stadium. Now that record will reset, as the Buckeyes will host UCLA on Nov. 15 for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff — the latest regular-season night game in Ohio Stadium history — on NBC.

Of course, the latest primetime game in the stadium’s history came last season when Ohio State hosted Tennessee in December for the first round of the College Football Playoff; the Tennessee starting quarterback for that game was Nico Iamaleava, who will start for UCLA against the Buckeyes next weekend after he transferred following last season.

Before Ohio State gets to its home game against the Bruins, the Buckeyes will have to go on the road and beat Purdue on Saturday afternoon (1 p.m., Big Ten Network), while UCLA will be at home against Nebraska this weekend.
