Big Ten Finalizes Ohio State’s 2024 Schedule, Which Features Eight Home Games at Ohio Stadium

Nearly one month after announcing Ohio State's conference opponents for the next five seasons, the Big Ten released the dates OSU is slated to compete against its nine Big Ten foes in the 2024 campaign. 

While the 2023 season has a split between six home games and six road contests for the Buckeyes, the 2024 slate features eight games at Ohio Stadium and four road contests. Ohio State also has two off weeks in the 2024 season, one on Sept. 14 and the other on Oct. 19. 

The Buckeyes will open next season against nonconference foes Southern Miss, Western Michigan and Marshall before facing their first conference foe on Sept. 28 in a road matchup against Michigan State. OSU returns to The Shoe to face Iowa on Oct. 5, then travels to Eugene for its first in-conference matchup with Oregon on Oct. 12.

Following their second off week, the Buckeyes alternate home and away matchups for four weeks against Nebraska (home), Penn State (away), Purdue (home) and Northwestern (away). OSU closes out its season with home matchups against Indiana on Nov. 23 and college football's greatest rivalry game against Michigan on Nov. 30.

Ohio State's complete schedule for the 2024 season can be found below.

Per the Big Ten’s release, “selected Saturday games in the 2024 season may be adjusted to select Fridays and other special dates, including Labor Day Sunday and Black Friday.”
