USC Trojans 2025 Big Ten schedule announced
The USC Trojans now know what their path through the 2025 Big Ten schedule looks like as the conference announced the lineups today. USC already knew its conference opponents, which were announced last year. The Trojans will play nonconference home games against Missouri State and Georgia Southern. USC will also travel to Notre Dame on October 18. Here’s what the Trojans will have to navigate through the Big Ten next season.
All games are listed as Saturday games, but there is still a chance they could shift to Friday depending on TV schedules.
Week 1 – Aug. 30 – Missouri State @ USC
USC opens its schedule with what should be a tune-up game against a Missouri State program making the jump from FCS to FBS.
Week 2- Sept. 6 – Georgia Southern @ USC
Former head coach Clay Helton brings Georgia Southern to the Coliseum.
Week 3 – Sept. 13 – USC @ Purdue
USC will open its Big Ten schedule with a trip to Purdue and new head coach Barry Odom. The Boilermakers were bad last season, so we’ll see what kind of jumpstart Odom can produce in Year 1.
Week 4 – Sept. 20 – Michigan State @ USC
The Spartans at the Trojans. These two programs are 4-4 against each other all time but haven’t played since 1988 and this will be Michigan State’s first trip to the Coliseum since 1978.
Week 5 – Sept. 27 – USC @ Illinois
USC goes back to the Midwest for the second time this season and will visit Champaign for the first time since 1966. USC is 11-2 all-time against the Illini.

Week 6 – Oct. 4 – BYE
Week 7 – Oct. 11 – Michigan @ USC
This will be Michigan’s first road game at USC since 1957. The Wolverines pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback win over the Trojans this season and that will once again be a highlight game for both programs next year. Michigan has this game sandwiched between home games against Wisconsin and Washington.
Week 8 – Oct. 18 – USC @ Notre Dame
USC heads to Indiana for the second time this year after taking on Purdue. This is a really interesting two-game burst against Michigan and Notre Dame between its two bye weeks.
Week 9 – Oct. 25 – BYE
Week 10 – Nov. 1 – USC @ Nebraska
The Trojans travel to Lincoln for the first time since 2007. USC is 5-0 all-time against Nebraska
Week 11 – Nov. 8 – Northwestern @ USC
The Trojans and Wildcats meet for the first time since the 1996 Rose Bowl.
Week 12 – Nov. 15 – Iowa @ USC
USC is 7-3 all-time against Iowa but the Hawkeyes beat up on the Trojans the last time the two teams faced each other in the 2019 Holiday Bowl.
Week 13 – Nov. 22 – USC @ Oregon
Oregon finishes its schedule with back-to-back games against USC and then Washington. The Trojans have not won in Eugene since 2011 and are just 3-7 against the Ducks over the last ten matchups.
Week 14 – Nov. 29 – UCLA @ USC
The Crosstown Showdown takes its place at the end of the season.
