Non-Conference Slate.
The season kicks off on August 30, 2025,
with Penn State welcoming the Nevada
Wolf Pack to University Park. Following
this opener, the Nittany Lions will host
Florida International University (FIU) on
September 6 and Villanova on September
13. These early games offer Penn State a
chance to build momentum before
entering the rigorous Big Ten schedule.
Big Ten Conference Challenges.
Big Ten play begins on September 27,
when Penn State hosts the Oregon Ducks.
This game is particularly noteworthy as
it marks Oregon’s first visit to Beaver
Stadium since 1964, a game in which the
Ducks secured a 22-14 victory. Given the
historical context and the strength of
both programs, this matchup is
anticipated to be a highlight of the
season. citeturn0search2
Following the Oregon game, the Nittany
Lions will travel to Los Angeles to face
UCLA on October 4, marking their first-
ever game at the Rose Bowl Stadium. The
schedule continues with a home game
against Northwestern on October 11,
followed by a trip to Iowa City to take on
the Iowa Hawkeyes on October 18.
After a bye week on October 25, Penn
State faces a challenging November,
starting with an away game against the
Ohio State Buckeyes on November 1. The
team then returns home to play Indiana
on November 8, travels to Michigan State
on November 15, and hosts Nebraska on
November 22. The regular season
concludes with an away game at Rutgers
on November 29.
Potential White Out Game.
The matchup against Oregon on
September 27 is a strong candidate for
Penn State’s annual “White Out” game,
known for its electrifying atmosphere
and significant fan participation. The
“White Out” has become a marquee
event, creating one of the most
intimidating environments in college
football. citeturn0search2
