The Big Ten has set conference matchups for the next five football seasons, with Ohio State playing at Oregon in 2024 and facing UCLA and Washington in 2025.
Moving to a divisionless model starting next season, Ohio State will face each of the Big Ten's other 17 teams at least twice within a five-year period and no more than three times, with the exception of Michigan, which will continue to be an annual rivalry.
In 2024, the Buckeyes will have eight home games and will host Southern Miss, Western Michigan, Marshall, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and Purdue. They'll face Michigan State, Northwestern, Oregon and Penn State on the road. From 2025 to 2028, OSU will have seven home games each season. Exact dates of the conference matchups have not yet been determined. The 2024 dates are expected to be released either later this month or in early November.
Ohio State will face at least one of the four new teams joining the conference yearly over the next five years, including a road matchup with Oregon in 2024, a road contest with Washington and a home game with UCLA in 2025, a home game against Oregon and a road matchup with USC in 2026, a home contest with USC and an away game at Oregon in 2027 and a home game with Washington and an away game against UCLA in 2028.
The Buckeyes have also scheduled three non-conference games for each of the next five seasons, including home-and-homes with Texas in 2025 and 2026 and Alabama in 2027 and 2028.
