Wisconsin vs. No. 13 Penn State: How to watch + betting odds

The Wisconsin Badgers are set to travel to Happy Valley and face off against the No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions in their first Big Ten matchup of the season on September 19, 2026. Following their impressive 54-10 victory against Eastern Michigan Eagles in Week 1, the Badgers will attempt to build on their performance and take on a team that is currently untested by a Power 4 opponent.

The Badgers put together a balanced attack in their last game, amassing nearly 500 yards of offense with 362 passing yards and four touchdowns from Colton Joseph. Defensively, they forced three turnovers and stifled their opponent after allowing a single touchdown on the opening drive. However, Wisconsin has struggled to secure consistent results in its first two games, falling to both Notre Dame and Western Illinois.

The Badgers' road trip to Penn State presents an interesting challenge, as the Nittany Lions have started the year 3-0 but have yet to face a quality opponent. Their recent 55-13 win against Buffalo showed that they can control games on both sides of the ball, but their offense has struggled in recent contests. For fans looking to watch the game, it will be televised on Peacock at 4:00 p.m. CT on Saturday.

Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania, will be the venue for this highly anticipated matchup. In terms of betting odds, Penn State is favored with a line of -10, while the over/under is set at 44.5 points according to FanDuel.
