- Ohio State football kickoff time, TV network announced for Nov. 15 game against UCLA
Ohio State 's football game against UCLA on Nov. 15 has been scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. and air on NBC.
It is the third home night game for the Buckeyes , their most in a season since the Big Ten's current TV deal took effect two years ago.
Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day watches from the sideline during the first half of the College Football Playoff first round game against the Tennessee Volunteers at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Dec. 21, 2024.
The Buckeyes last played three night games at home in 2022. Two of them were on ABC, which is no longer one of the conference's network partners.

While it's rare for the Buckeyes to host night games past the first weekend in November, it did against Michigan State in 2023 and also had a first-round College Football Playoff game against Tennessee last December.
The game between Ohio State and UCLA is their first since the Bruins joined the Big Ten last year as one of four West Coast schools.
They last met in 2001 when the Bruins defeated the Buckeyes at the Rose Bowl in September. Their previous to Columbus was in 1999, resulting in a 42-20 win for Ohio State.
UCLA has gone 3-2 since it fired coach DeShaun Foster following an 0-3 start.
