Big Ten releases early TV schedule, times and networks for Oregon's first 3

College Football is almost back! There are 101 days until Oregon returns to Autzen Stadium, 94 until the first Week Zero game.

Wednesday afternoon the Big Ten Network released TV times and networks for the first three weeks of the season. Until then, there are official visit weekends in June, major recruiting commitment announcements in late June and July, conference media days at the end of July. Then fall camps open.

Oregon hosts Boise State in their season opener on September 5, 12:30 p.m. PT on CBS. Champions of the Mountain West for the last three seasons, the Broncos move to the new-look PAC-12 this fall. They're 17.5-point underdogs at Autzen Stadium, despite owning a 3-1 lifetime advantage over the Webfoots.

They feature a two-year starter at quarterback in Spencer Danielson plus a potent running game with the thunder and lightning tandem of Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines. Defensively, senior nickelback Jaden Mickey posted 38 tackles and seven tackles for loss last season.

In Week 2 the Ducks travel to Stillwater to face a completely revamped Oklahoma State squad, a 12 p.m. PT kickoff on ESPN.

New head coach Eric Morris has followed the Curt Cignetti formula by bringing in 85 new players in his first year, including the stars from his old team at North Texas, quarterback Drew Mestemaker (4,379 passing yards) and running back Caleb Hawkins, who torched American Conference defenses for 1,434 yards and 25 touchdowns as a true freshman, 6.2 yards a carry.

The roster that takes the field on September 12 will look nothing like the opponent Oregon beat 69-3 at home last season. Oddsmakers have the Ducks as 17.5-point favorites.

Friday September 19th the Ducks host FCS Big Sky opponent Portland State, 7:30 p.m. PT on the Big Ten Network. The Vikings, 1-11 last year have a new head coach in Chris Fisk. The Ducks are 6-0 against PSU and all six games have been blowouts, the last in 2023 an 81-7 splattering.

Times and networks for the rest of the schedule will follow. Much-anticipated is Oregon's matchup in Week 4, when they travel to USC to face Lincoln Riley, quarterback Jayden Maiava and the Trojans. In the post-spring Sporting News Composite Poll released on May 8th, the Ducks ranked No. 6 while SC placed No. 10 after a 9-5 campaign in 2025.
