Kick time set for Michigan State-UCLA on Oct. 24, but TV network unknown

Michigan State University will face UCLA in a football matchup on October 24, with the kickoff time still undecided. The Big Ten confirmed that the game will take place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, where UCLA hosts its home games. The scheduled kickoff times are either 3 p.m. Eastern Time or 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, corresponding to a noon or 12:30 p.m. local time at the Rose Bowl.

Historically, Michigan State holds a 3-4 record against UCLA, including a significant 38-13 defeat at Spartan Stadium during the last encounter on October 11, 2022, under interim coach Jerry Neuheisel. This loss contributed to the dismissal of head coach Jonathan Smith. Current Spartan coach Pat Fitzgerald is in his first season, while UCLA head coach Bob Chesney, a first-year coach, has started with a 5-0 record, UCLA's first since 2022.
