COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Big Ten Conference officially announced its 2026 football schedules on Tuesday evening. Coupled with two non-conference games in Ohio Stadium, Ohio State is scheduled to play seven home games next fall, highlighted by visits from Michigan, Oregon, Illinois, Northwestern and Maryland.
The Buckeyes’ slate consists of two College Football Playoff semifinalists – Indiana (away) and Oregon (home) – as well as a visit to Texas to close out the home-and-home series. Nine of Ohio State’s 12 regular season opponents either played in the CFP or a bowl game this season and seven of them had nine or more wins in 2025.
