The final Saturday of the college football season still belongs to one matchup above all the rest: Ohio State vs. Michigan. Fans across the country will flip on the TV at noon to watch “The Game,” and for plenty of people, getting there in person is the real prize.
This year’s edition comes with Ohio State back on top after finally snapping a four-game losing streak against the Wolverines last season. The Buckeyes will have home-field advantage in 2026, but that hardly makes this one feel settled. Michigan has been Ohio State’s kryptonite before, and the rivalry has a way of ignoring whatever the standings or the setting might suggest.
Tickets are on sale now through StubHub. The current get-in price is $350, with B-Deck seats listed at $430 and A-Deck seats at $600.
Ohio State will host Michigan on Saturday, Nov. 28, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. Kickoff is set for noon ET.
Ohio State’s 2026 schedule includes Ball State on Sept. 5, a trip to Texas on Sept. 12, Kent State on Sept.
19, Illinois on Sept. 26, Iowa on Oct.
3, Maryland on Oct. 10, Indiana on Oct.
17, USC on Oct. 31, Oregon on Nov.

Khary Wilder Is Giving Ohio State Fans An Early Reason To Believe
Khary Wilder has already made himself part of the conversation in Ohio States fall camp. The freshman defensive lineman shed his black stripe, becoming the fifth Buckeyes newcomer to do so this year, a small but meaningful marker that he is settling in quickly and starting to earn trust on a line that will need fresh pieces to emerge.
His timing matters because Ohio State is trying to reload up front after losing several key players to the NFL Draft, and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is known for favoring a deep rotation. Wilder is expected to be in that mix, giving the Buckeyes another young option to lean on as they try to keep the defense operating at a high level even as the roster turns over. [Read more 🡒]
Ohio States Backup Quarterback Battle Just Got More Complicated
The second full week of training camp has already started to clarify a key part of Ohio States quarterback picture behind Julian Sayin, and freshman Luke Fahey has pushed himself right into the conversation. Head coach Ryan Day said Fahey has been competing strongly for the backup role, a notable development for a player who arrived as a three-star recruit with a reputation for pocket passing and steady work ethic.
Fahey also earned his black stripe on Saturday, another sign that his progression is being taken seriously inside the program. His rise has made the battle for the No. 2 job more complicated, with Tavien St. Clair now feeling added pressure as camp moves forward and the Buckeyes continue sorting out the depth chart behind their starter.

Ryan Day Just Turned Up The Pressure On Ohio State's Bo Jackson
Ryan Day has made it clear that Bo Jacksons progress in fall camp is being judged with a sharp eye, and for now the Ohio State running back is being pushed to prove that his improved running style will matter when the games begin. Day said Jackson looks better than he did a year ago, but the early message from camp has been about earning trust through practice, not reputation, and that has put Jackson in a more competitive spot than some might have expected.
Jacksons path is still very much in front of him, but the way Ohio State has handled the running back rotation suggests nothing is guaranteed. Day has stressed that development has to show up on the field, and the longer that evaluation goes on, the more this becomes about Jacksons ability to keep moving forward in Columbus and forcing the staff to keep him in the picture.
