Home college football game of the Ohio State Buckeyes against Oregon at Ohio Stadium.
Ohio State takes on Oregon at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, November 7, 2026. It's a home game for the Buckeyes, and if you've never been to a game here, it's a good one to start with.
Ohio Stadium is one of the most recognizable landmarks in college athletics. It currently seats 102,780, which makes it the fourth-largest on-campus facility in the country. It's been open since October 7, 1922, when the Buckeyes played Ohio Wesleyan, and more than 36 million fans have streamed through its portals since then. A home game here is a campus-wide experience that goes well beyond the stands.
If you don't have a ticket, you can still get in on the action. The free Skull Session is the pregame pep rally and rehearsal of the Ohio State Marching Band, 'The Best Damn Band in the Land.' They march from the stadium to St. John Arena two and a half hours before kickoff, where head coach Ryan Day and the football team address the crowd and the band previews its halftime show. It's a great way to soak up the atmosphere before the game even starts.
