Ohio State moves 2027 season opener against Bowling Green to August 28
Summary

Ohio State will start its 2027 football season earlier than scheduled, facing Bowling Green on August 28. The change follows a recent amendment to the scheduling agreement between the schools and new calendar adjustments by the Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee. This marks the earliest season opener for the Buckeyes since 2002. Their subsequent nonconference games against New Hampshire and Alabama remain on schedule for September 11 and September 18, respectively. The Buckeyes may potentially play a conference game on September 4, but specifics are still pending.
