A look at all of the Big Ten football spring game dates, times, locations, and television coverage for the 2026 cycle.
Spring has sprung, and that means many of the college football programs across the country are kicking off the dust and popping the pads in hopes of putting the building blocks in place for the fall. Ohio State is no different, with about half of its spring practice now complete, all with the eye towards the annual spring game on Saturday, April 18. But since we are Big Ten fans along with OSU fans here at Buckeyes Wire, we're also interested in when all of the other spring games/events are across the landscape of the conference.
From New Jersey (Rutgers), to the West Coast teams like UCLA and Oregon , here's a look at the dates of the final spring event each Big Ten team has scheduled. Some of the teams won't have a spring game, while others are yet to be announced. Here's what we know.
