We have known USC’s 2026 football schedule for several months now. Now, we also know when several of the Trojans’ games will start, as on Wednesday, the Big Ten announced the kickoff times for USC’s first four games of the season.
The Trojans will open the season against San Jose State at the Coliseum on August 29. The game will kick off at noon Pacific time and be televised by NBC.
The following week, USC will be back at home for a Friday game against Fresno State. As previously announced, the matchup will be played at 6:00 p.m. Pacific time on Fox.
The Trojans will play their third consecutive home game to begin the year when Louisiana comes to Los Angeles on September 12. That game will be under the lights at the Coliseum, with kickoff set for 8:00 p.m. Pacific time on Big Ten Network.
The week after that, USC will finally travel on the road for the first time in 2026. The Trojans will visit Rutgers in their Big Ten opener, which will kick off at 12:30 p.m. Pacific time/3:30 p.m. Eastern time on CBS.
