'College GameDay' won't be returning to Oklahoma-Michigan in 2026
After OU and Michigan were in the spotlight last year, that won't be the case this season.
When the Oklahoma Sooners hosted the Michigan Wolverines in 2025, the matchup got all of the special treatment you could ask for. ESPN's "College GameDay" came to Norman , ABC's lead broadcast team of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Holly Rowe descended upon Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and a primetime kickoff of 6:30 p. m.
CT made for a visually spectacular Week 2 September Saturday night on Owen Field. After OU beat Michigan 24-13 in last year's SEC-versus-Big Ten non-conference showdown, the rematch will look a bit different. After a kickoff time (11:00 a.
m. CT) and a broadcast network (FOX) were announced on Monday, more news that affects the game came out on Tuesday. ESPN announced that "College GameDay" will not be coming to Ann Arbor and Michigan Stadium for the 2026 rematch between the Sooners and Wolverines .
Instead, they'll head to Austin for the matchup between Ohio State and Texas, which will also kick off in primetime on ABC on September 12th. THE FIRST TWO SHOWS OF THE 2026 CFB SEASON ARE SET‼️ 📍 Week 1: Baton Rouge 📍 Week 2: Austin pic. twitter.
