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
