Penn State football’s October 10 matchup against USC at Beaver Stadium is set for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on NBC, the team announced Tuesday afternoon.

The Nittany Lions will host the Trojans for the first time since 1994 in the 2026 White Out. The two squads last faced off in 2024’s ‘Tyler Warren game‘, where Penn State gutted out a 33-30 overtime win at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Trojans still hold a 6-5 all-time series lead.

Penn State’s 2026 slate is starting to take shape. The Nittany Lions are set to open Big Ten play against Wisconsin for the Homecoming Game and will face Northwestern at 8 p.m. on October 2.
