CFB TV Confirmations for 2026 Week 11 (11/10/2026 - 11/14/2026)

This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for Week 11 (11/10/26 - 11/14/2026) from the (mostly) twelve day selection process that most TV networks adhere to. Most conferences have the possibility of having all or part of their scheduled games held for a six day hold for the start time and/or the TV network. The list of available TV windows are based on media websites, TV listings and press releases. They can change based on the needs of the broadcaster or the conference.

CFB TV Guesses for 2026 Week 11 (11/10/2026-11/14/2026)

Here are the games already set for television and/or webcast. Here are the known available telecast windows. 

I have done my best to list what TV windows are out there. Every listing service has a little different schedule for these networks. It is also possible that a window could be eliminated or the time of a window could shift slightly to accommodate a network's needs.

Instead of cluttering up these posts even more, I'll try to keep track of the unique conference TV arrangements and six day holds used in a separate post.  

A few notes and considerations:

* Per Yogi Roth's podcast with NBC's Todd Blackledge, Northwestern at Ohio State  will be on NBC.  I don't think its first choice for the week. That said, it would be Northwestern's 6th night game, which would be one over guidelines with Iowa at Northwestern on FOX in primetime this upcoming Saturday.  Last year Nebraska had six night games, four of which were road games though one of them was a neutral site game where Cincinnati was considered the home team.  If there's truly anything that precludes Northwestern from playing at night, swap Michigan at Oregon to NBC.

* I think FOX goes first followed by NBC, then CBS's choice listed below.

* With FOX, I have them choosing first for the Big 12.  Went with Utah at Arizona for now but won't be surprised to see it on a six day hold and flip to Baylor at BYU or Texas Tech at Oklahoma State.

* The MEAC has the possibility of a wildcard selection for ESPN linear, likely ESPNU, on either 11/14 or 11/21.  I'll use it on 11/21.

* No ESPNU early window because they are carrying the SIAC championship game

* I added a fourth window on ACC Network to fit everything in.  Alternate ways to accomplish this would be to slide one of the Big 12 games to ESPN+ (I'd put Arizona State at UCF in that spot) or have two BTN games in a single timeslot, like Washington at Michigan State & Nebraska at Rutgers, moving Arizona State at UCF to FS1 in the evening.

* Tuesday's MAC TV assignments were made on Saturday night.  Wednesday's are being guessed here.

Games set for time or TV network family but not both:

• Wyoming at UTEP (TBA, FOX Sports)
• SEC slots
• Early: Alabama at Vanderbilt & Auburn at Mississippi State
• Afternoon: Ole Miss at Oklahoma
• Evening: Florida at Kentucky
• Afternoon or Evening: Tennessee at Texas A&M, Missouri at Georgia, South Carolina at Arkansas & Texas at LSU

CFB TV Guesses for 2026 Week 10 (11/3/2026-11/7/2026)

Here are the games already set for television and/or webcast. Here are the known available telecast windows. 

I have done my best to list what TV windows are out there. Every listing service has a little different schedule for these networks. It is also possible that a window could be eliminated or the time of a window could shift slightly to accommodate a network's needs.

Instead of cluttering up these posts even more, I'll try to keep track of the unique conference TV arrangements and six day holds used in a separate post.  

A few notes and considerations:

* Per The Athletic's Scott Docherman, CBS chose this week as its top overall choice for the season so they could carry Oregon at Ohio State.  After that, I have FOX and NBC (for Peacock) in order.  Note that this week is also when Michigan no longer allows home night games.

* Knowing that Michigan can't go in the night game slot, I have FOX choosing it for the noon slot.  

* NBC's Big Ten selection is a night game on Peacock as Notre Dame is hosting Miami (FL) at night on NBC, though the Big Ten game could move to a different time if needed.  

* Why Michigan State at Michigan over UCLA at Minnesota?  Reasonable question. I think there's a chance that UCLA at Minnesota could be the noon game. 

* I have ESPN taking the BYU at Utah at the front ahead of FOX taking West Virginia at Texas Tech.  I think there's a small chance it ends up being the ABC primetime game.  Kentucky at Tennessee being locked in to primetime does not help.  I don't think Georgia at Ole Miss and Alabama at LSU would be in the 3:30pm timeslot with one of those on ESPN.

* FS1 does not have a 7pm game as they'll be carrying men's college basketball.  They do have a 9:30pm ET window.

* The ACC's CW game starts a little later at 12:30pm.

* Games set for time and/or TV, but not both:

• Hawai'i at UTEP (TBA, FOX Sports)
• Maryland at Purdue (Between 12pm and 5pm, TBA)
• SEC slots:
• Early: Arkansas at Auburn & Texas at Missouri
• Afternoon: Texas A&M at South Carolina
• Evening: Kentucky at Tennessee
• Afternoon or Evening: Oklahoma at Florida, Alabama at LSU, Georgia at Ole Miss & Vanderbilt at Mississippi State

CFB TV Guesses for 2026 Week 9 (10/29/2026-10/31/2026)

Here are the games already set for television and/or webcast. Here are the known available telecast windows. 

I have done my best to list what TV windows are out there. Every listing service has a little different schedule for these networks. It is also possible that a window could be eliminated or the time of a window could shift slightly to accommodate a network's needs.

Instead of cluttering up these posts even more, I'll try to keep track of the unique conference TV arrangements and six day holds used in a separate post.  

A few notes and considerations:

* I only have two telecast windows for FOX as this would be Game 7 of the World Series

* The mid-afternoon ABC window is confirmed for its SEC game

* Games set for time or TV, but not both

• Notre Dame vs. Navy (12pm, ABC or ESPN)
• Wisconsin at Iowa (TBA, between 12pm and 5pm)
• Northwestern at Oregon (TBA, between 3pm and 8pm)
• South Dakota at South Dakota State (TBA, ESPN linear)
• Alabama State vs. Alabama A&M (3:30pm, ESPN linear or ESPN+)
• SEC game slots
• Early: Auburn at Ole Miss
• Evening: Mississippi State at Texas
• Afternoon or Evening: South Carolina at Oklahoma & Missouri at Arkansas

* I elected to not use the SECN early window since there was only one game available

* FOX can coexist with CBS or NBC for their Big Ten selections in limited cases, usually once per season.  I think this is a great case for FOX to do that with Ohio State at USC, especially if the possibility exists for it to lead into Game 7 of the World Series.  My order for the Big Ten was FOX, CBS and NBC.

* Saturday 10/17's chaos was an added wrench. This would have looked very different if several schools didn't lose.

* For the Big 12, I gave FOX top choice with Arizona State at BYU. Yep, I think they'll make the ask for the Cougars to host a 10am local time start and they'll agree. Their last 10am start was in 2023 when they hosted Oklahoma at that early start on ESPN. They also had an 11am local (1pm ET) start vs UCF last season on ESPN2.
