Penn State football’s September 13 matchup against Villanova is set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on FS1, the Big Ten announced Thursday.

Penn State and Villanova last met in September 2021, where the Nittany Lions secured a 38-17 win in Beaver Stadium. The two sides have played five times since 2005, with that being Penn State’s sole win in the past 20 years.

The matchup will serve as Penn State’s final non-conference game to kick off the 2025 season before diving into Big Ten play against Oregon for the White Out.
