Ohio State Will Not Play on Friday During 2024 Season
Only one day of the week is worthy of hosting Ohio State Buckeyes football: Saturday.
FOX Sports released its schedule for this year’s series of “FOX College Football Fridays” on Wednesday afternoon. The 12-game list includes 11 different teams spanning the Big Ten, Big 12 and Mountain West conferences.
The Buckeyes were left out of the series, giving them a regular-season schedule that will be played exclusively on Saturdays. As of now, Ohio State’s matchup against the Michigan Wolverines on November 30 is the only outing to air on FOX.
The lineup of “FOX College Football Fridays” games is as follows:
– September 13: Arizona Wildcats at Kansas State Wildcats
– September 20: Illinois Fighting Illini at Nebraska Cornhuskers
– September 27: Washington Huskies at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
– October 4: Michigan State Spartans @ Oregon Ducks
– October 11: Northwestern Wildcats at Maryland Terrapins
– October 18: Oregon Ducks at Purdue Boilermakers
– October 25: Rutgers Scarlet Knights at USC Trojans
– November 8: Iowa Hawkeyes at UCLA Bruins
– November 15: UCLA Bruins at Washington Huskies
– November 22: Purdue Boilermakers at Michigan State Spartans
FOX will also air a regular-season game between the Utah Utes and UCF Knights on Friday, November 29, as well as the Mountain West Championship game on Friday, December 6.
Ohio State is by no means the only school left off of FOX’s list. Five other teams (from just the Big Ten) did not receive a Friday contest. Some of the league’s heaviest hitters are in the same boat as the Buckeyes, including the Michigan Wolverines and the Penn State Nittany Lions.
UPDATE 6/30/26 @ 6:30 p.m.

Two people were found dead in a vehicle at a park in North Canton, Ohio, authorities said.
The North Canton Police Department said in a news release on Facebook that officers were called to Eastwoods Park around 11 a.m. on Sunday for reports of a suspicious vehicle. When officers arrived, they found a Honda with its engine running and two unresponsive people inside.
The two people, a 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman, were pronounced dead at the scene. They have not been identified as of Monday night.
Police said the preliminary findings show carbon monoxide levels in the vehicle were at levels exceeding what is considered safe. The North Canton Fire Department responded to the scene to help confirm the findings.
“At this time, there are no signs of foul play and no indication of violence or struggle associated with this incident,” North Canton police said in the news release.
The Stark County Coroner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of death for the two people. No other information was released by law enforcement.
“This remains an active investigation, and no further information is available at this time,” the news release said.
