A 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.
The Oregon Ducks, now sitting at No. 1 in the rankings, will make a well-timed debut to the Big Ten on CBS with a pair of conference clashes in consecutive weeks. First is an Oct. 26 home tilt with Illinois, one of the Big Ten’s surprise teams, followed by a pivotal road trip to Michigan as the calendar flips to November.Â
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. Â Â Â Â
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
