The Big Ten Conference announced a handful of kickoff times and networks for the upcoming season on June 30. The Nittany Lions will open their season Aug. 31 at West Virginia. Kickoff is set for noon, following, FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show. It will be the first time the network’s pregame show will be in Morgantown, W.V.

The Nittany Lions went 10-3 (7-2 Big Ten) last season and lost to Ole Miss 38-25 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

A few other Penn State games have been given times as well, but the Big Ten will continue to announce times and TV networks for the remaining games leading up to and during the 2024 season.
