Overview

  • FOIA-obtained contract records confirm Nevada will receive $1.6 million for visiting Beaver Stadium, with the deal signed Oct. 11, 2022 and in line with recent Penn State buy-game payouts.
  • The season opener is set for Saturday, Aug. 30 at 3:30 p.m. ET at Beaver Stadium with coverage on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
  • Secondary-market listings sampled Aug. 24 showed the lowest ticket prices at $12–$14 on SeatGeek, Viagogo, Vivid Seats and StubHub.
  • Penn State holds the No. 2 spot in the AP preseason poll, and national outlets largely project a top playoff seed with a first-round bye.
  • Oddsmakers list Penn State as roughly a 44.5-point favorite over Nevada, which finished 3-10 last season, in the first of three scheduled buy games before FIU and Villanova.
