Michigan Wolverines 2025 Schedule TV Surprises Ahead
Michigan Wolverines 2025 TV Schedule
The Michigan Wolverines 2025 football TV schedule is already partially set, with the first six network assignments announced: New Mexico on NBC, Oklahoma on ABC, Central Michigan on BTN, Nebraska on CBS, Wisconsin still TBD, and Ohio State on FOX. The clearest viewing roadmap right now is that Michigan opens the season at home on Aug. 30, travels to Oklahoma on Sept. 6, and closes the regular season against Ohio State on Nov. 29, with several marquee games guaranteed for national television.
What is confirmed
Michigan's official schedule shows the Wolverines' 2025 slate, and the Big Ten's May announcement locked in kick times and TV networks for six key games. The season opener against New Mexico is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC, the trip to Oklahoma is also 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, Central Michigan is noon ET on BTN, Nebraska is 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS, Wisconsin remains either noon or 3:30 p.m. ET on a still-undisclosed network, and Ohio State is noon ET on FOX.
| Date | Opponent | Time | TV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug. 30 | New Mexico | 7:30 p.m. ET | NBC |
| Sept. 6 | at Oklahoma | 7:30 p.m. ET | ABC |
| Sept. 13 | Central Michigan | Noon ET | BTN |
| Sept. 20 | at Nebraska | 3:30 p.m. ET | CBS |

| Nov. 29 | Ohio State | Noon ET | FOX |
Full 2025 schedule context
The full regular season includes 12 games, with additional spotlight matchups against USC, Washington, Michigan State, Purdue, Northwestern, and Maryland that are part of the complete conference calendar. On the currently published schedule, Michigan also has bye weeks on Sept. 27 and Nov. 8, which helps explain why some midseason television details are still being finalized later by the Big Ten and its broadcast partners.
- Aug. 30: New Mexico, NBC, 7:30 p.m. ET.
- Sept. 6: at Oklahoma, ABC, 7:30 p.m. ET.
- Sept. 13: Central Michigan, BTN, noon ET.
- Sept. 20: at Nebraska, CBS, 3:30 p.m. ET.
- Oct. 4: Wisconsin, TV TBD, noon or 3:30 p.m. ET.
- Nov. 29: Ohio State, FOX, noon ET.
Why these games matter
The biggest television value on Michigan's 2025 slate comes from the high-profile nonconference trip to Oklahoma and the season-ending showdown with Ohio State, both of which are set for major broadcast windows. Michigan's opener also lands on NBC in prime time, giving the Wolverines three early-season games with strong national reach before conference play deepens in September and October.
That matters because TV placement often tracks both audience demand and program quality, and Michigan's brand continues to draw premium windows. In practical terms, fans should expect the Wolverines to remain one of the most televised teams in the Big Ten, especially in rivalry and crossover games that usually attract national audiences and larger streaming distribution.
Viewing guide
If your goal is simple: the safest way to follow Michigan in 2025 is to assume the most important games will be on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, or BTN, with exact late-season assignments filling in later. The early schedule already offers a strong national lineup, and the Nov. 29 Ohio State game is confirmed for FOX at noon ET, which is the kind of placement that usually defines the regular-season finale for the Wolverines.
- Mark the confirmed national games first: New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Ohio State.
- Watch for the Wisconsin time announcement, since that is the biggest unresolved TV slot.
- Check conference updates later in the season for the remaining road games and home dates.
"The Big Ten Conference and its television partners announced Thursday the kick times and television network designations for six of the 2025 University of Michigan football games," according to Michigan Athletics.
Historical angle
Michigan's 2025 TV footprint reflects how the program has become a reliable centerpiece for major networks, especially when it plays elite opponents or rivalry games. The schedule also shows the Big Ten's continued use of a multi-network approach, spreading marquee games across NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, and BTN so that the Wolverines remain visible across both traditional TV and conference media platforms.
What fans should expect next
The remaining television designations will likely be announced in waves as kickoff selections are finalized later in the season. That usually means some games stay flexible for broadcast inventory and competitive balance, especially around the middle of the schedule and after bye weeks, when networks can better target premium matchups.
For fans planning road trips or watch parties, the most useful assumption is that Michigan's biggest games will keep landing in nationally televised windows, while lower-profile conference dates may shift into BTN or other more regional placements. The confirmed slate already gives Michigan fans a straightforward broadcast plan for the start of the year and the most important rivalry date at the end.
