FOX Sports' first three Big Noon Saturday games for 2025 season revealed

On Thursday, On3’s Pete Nakos revealed which games FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff will be covering through the first three weeks of the college football season. The crew will kick off the season in Columbus for Ohio State–Texas in Week 1.

From there, Big Noon will travel west for the in-state rivalry matchup between Iowa and Iowa State on Sept. 2. Finally, the show will cover 2024 Big Ten champion Oregon‘s visit to Northwestern on Sept. 9.

As usual, the crew will include FOX Sports commentator Rob Stone, 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart, 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram II, former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and legendary head coach Urban Meyer. Bruce Feldman also appears on the show as its college football insider.

There will be no shortage of eyes on the three games. Big Noon Kickoff is the second-most watched college football pregame show, only trailing behind ESPN’s College GameDay.

FOX Sports isn’t the only one that made major announcements regarding the upcoming college football season on Thursday. Shortly after the Big Noon Kickoff slate was announced, the Big Ten unveiled the television schedule for 51 games from August 28 through September 13. Check it out below.
