26 Sep
Summary
- Game will stream exclusively on Peacock.
- Penn State leads the all-time series 12-9.
- Temperatures will be in the upper 60s.
Big Ten play officially commences as Penn State welcomes Wisconsin to Beaver Stadium on September 26, 2026, for an early evening kickoff. The Nittany Lions, who have won all three of their non-conference games, aim to extend their series advantage over the Badgers. Penn State currently leads Wisconsin 12-9 all-time and has secured the last six matchups.
The game is a Peacock-exclusive broadcast, accessible only through the NBCUniversal streaming platform. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET in University Park, Pennsylvania. Weather forecasts predict cloudy skies with temperatures in the upper 60s at the start, dropping to the lower 60s by the game's conclusion, offering a distinctly autumnal atmosphere.
Wisconsin enters the conference opener having won two consecutive games following an opening-season loss. Their recent success has been fueled by a strong passing game. Penn State, however, will be without star wide receiver Koby Howard due to an injury sustained in their previous game.
