Michigan football fans can start figuring out their plans for gamedays in 2026. On Wednesday, the Big Ten Conference announced kickoff times and TV channels for the first three weeks of the season.We had already known that Michigan was going to take on Oklahoma at Noon on FOX in Week 2. Big Noon Kickoff jumped all over covering the Wolverines vs. Sooners after seeing that game aired on ABC a year ago. And now, Michigan will play a game on all three major time slots to open the 2026 season. Official game times announcedWeek 1: Western Michigan vs. Michigan at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBCWeek 2: Oklahoma vs. Michigan at Noon ET on FOXWeek 3: UTEP vs. Michigan at 3:30 p.m. ET on the Big Ten NetworkWhile the BTN might not be a big network, every game should be viewable for Michigan fans and streaming shouldn't be much of an issue. Through the first three games of the season, the Wolverines won't be on NBC's Peacock, which does require a subscription to see. A Week 1 night game traditionFor the third season in a row, Michigan will open the season at home and under the lights. This is what I had predicted and it makes sense for the TV company. The Wolverines host two night games every season, and Michigan appears to enjoy having one right away. Last season, it was Bryce Underwood's first game at Michigan, and this season, it's Kyle Whittingham's first game as the head coach — people will be tuning in.
