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

This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for Week 10 (11/3/26 - 11/7/2026) 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 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.

CFB TV Confirmations for 2026 Week 8 (10/24/2026) & American Black Friday (11/27/2026)

This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for Week 8 (10/24/26) 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.

In addition to Week 8, it is expected that the American's Black Friday games will be selected.  Unsure if they'll set times for them, but the games will air at 12pm and 3:30pm ET on 11/27/26 on ESPN.

Here's what I guessed based on the available openings (they will prove to be incorrect), along with the games that have already been set.

Six Day Hold

12pm TNT, 12pm FS1, 3:30pm FOX, 3:30pm ESPN2, 7pm FS1, 10:15pm/10:30pm ESPN and one of 7pm ESPN or 7:30pm ESPN2

ESPN chose to air Temple at Memphis at Tulsa at UTSA on Friday 11/27.  All other games stay on 11/28.

CFB TV Guesses for 2026 Week 8 (10/24/2026) & American for Friday 11/27/26

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:

* Why the need to make choices for Black Friday with the American? Four games were set for the possibility of moving from Saturday 11/28 to Friday 11/27 for a pair of openings on ESPN at 12pm & 3:30pm ET:

• Tulsa at UTSA
• Temple at Memphis
• Florida Atlantic at East Carolina
• Tulane at South Florida

* FOX doesn't have an evening game due to the World Series

* No early SECN window as only one game has been reserved for that time slot.

* ACCN also doesn't have a planned window at noon ET.

* CBSSN is open at noon. It should be used for a MAC selection.

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

• Kansas State at Arizona State (TBA, ABC/ESPN networks)
• Iowa at Minnesota (Between 3pm and 8pm, TBA)
• Michigan State at UCLA (Between 3pm and 8pm, TBA)
• LSU at Auburn (12pm, ABC or ESPN)
• Other SEC game slots:
• Afternoon: Tennessee at South Carolina
• Evening: Vanderbilt at Kentucky
• Afternoon or evening: Texas A&M at Alabama, Ole Miss at Texas, Oklahoma at Mississippi State

* In terms of Big Ten order, I went FOX, CBS and NBC.  It would not surprise me to see a six day hold used by FOX to wait on Indiana-Michigan or USC-Wisconsin.  

* For the Big 12, I gave ESPN the top choice, and then gave FOX two straight.

Saturday 10/24/26

12pm ABC: Pitt at Miami (FL)

12pm FOX: USC at Wisconsin

12pm ESPN: LSU at Auburn

12pm ESPN2: Texas Tech at Cincinnati

Friday 11/27/26

I think Tulsa at UTSA and Temple at Memphis will be moved to Black Friday.  I think they will wait for the November selections to set start times for each game.
