Fox to Broadcast College Football Games on Friday Nights Starting Fall 2024
The move aims to fill the programming void left by WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown and capitalize on the success of Big Noon Kickoff.
- Fox will air college football games from the Big Ten, Big 12, and Mountain West conferences on Friday nights beginning this fall.
- The complete broadcast schedule will be announced after selection meetings with conferences in late May or early June.
- Friday night games aim to build on the success of Fox's Big Noon Kickoff, which has seen a significant viewership increase.
- The expansion into Friday nights fills the gap left by WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown moving to USA Network in October.
- Fox's strategy includes broadcasting top college football games on Fridays and Saturdays, followed by the top NFL game on Sundays.
