2024 Big Ten on CBS schedule, games: USC vs. Wisconsin, Ohio State vs. Iowa headline
The Trojans welcome the Badgers to Los Angeles before we turn our attention to October and the Buckeyes
by Chip Patterson · CBS SportsA 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.
To close out the month of September, it'll be a heavy USC presence on CBS. On the heels of a loss in their first-ever Big Ten game to Michigan on Sept. 21, the Trojans welcome Wisconsin to Los Angeles on Sept. 28 to see if they can notch that first-ever conference victory.
The beginning of October draws attention to Ohio State, which hosts Iowa on Oct. 5 in a Big Ten showdown. The Buckeyes have dispatched overwhelmed nonconference opponents with relative ease, but the Hawkeyes present -- even in a hostile environment -- a more formidable opponent defensively.
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
