Penn State football’s September 26 matchup against Wisconsin is set for a 5 p.m. kickoff on Peacock, the Big Ten announced Monday.

The game will serve as Matt Campbell’s Big Ten debut.

The Nittany Lions and Badgers last faced off in 2024, when Beau Pribula led Penn State to victory after stepping in for an injured Drew Allar.

Penn State has won six consecutive matchups between the two programs dating back to 2012, including a 2016 Big Ten Championship win. Beaver Stadium has not hosted the game since 2018.

Penn State is 2-0 on the young season with wins against Marshall and Temple. Wisconsin dropped its season opener to Notre Dame at Lambeau Field, but rebounded with a win over Western Illinois in its home opener. Wisconsin is also Penn State’s Homecoming opponent.

The Nittany Lions close out non-conference play against Buffalo at noon on Saturday, September 19, at Beaver Stadium.
