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.

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.

Did you list the big 12 games in the games to be slotted?

Matt Sarzyniak said...

They are in place now

3:00 and 6:15 espn? Don’t expect that, Does espn consider moving the late game to either 9:45 or 10:00 instead of 10:15/10:30?

Looks line the Big Ten used their six-day picks. Any idea what time slots are likely?

Miami v ND seems to be missing.

Matt Sarzyniak said...

It's not. It was confirmed in May.

It's not on your schedule and you still have NBC/Peacock prime time as open.

Matt Sarzyniak said...

That's a Big Ten slot

Do you still think Michigan MSU is big noon?

Do you still think Michigan MSU will be big noon?

Have you seen the standings?

Apparently it is going to be 9:30 for the late game as they do not have any options in the Mountain or Pacific time zones since they rightly decided that Colorado @ ASU did not belong on ESPN.
