The Big Ten Network has unveiled its 2026 college football broadcast schedule, promising a full slate of 43 games and a suite of studio shows that will guide viewers from the opening kickoff through the final drive.
A Revamped Broadcast Roster
Among the familiar faces returning to the commentary booth are Urban Meyer, the former Ohio State coach known for his strategic insights, and Tyvis Powell, who will co‑host the B1G Tailgate program alongside his analyst duties.
The network also welcomes a trio of new analysts — Ryan Kerrigan, Kenjon Barner and Brett Hundley — who join a roster that already includes Jake Butt, Rhett Lewis and Anthony Herron, expanding the depth of expertise on display.
Studio programming will feature a range of original shows, from the long‑running Football Training Camp to the upcoming 15th season of the Emmy‑nominated franchise The Journey: Big Ten Football 2026, as well as B1G Countdown to Kickoff and The Final Drive.
The season will open with a marquee matchup at Ohio State on September 5, where the B1G Tailgate show will make its debut, setting the tone for a year that promises fresh storylines and deeper engagement for fans across the conference.
