Tracking Penn State's Future Football Schedules

Here's what we know about Penn State's football schedules through 2026.

Penn State announced some additions to its future football schedules, completing the slate of 2024 games and adding an opponent through 2026. Here's the scoop.

Penn State rescheduled games with Kent State and San Jose State that were postponed in 2020. Kent State will visit Penn State in 2024, and San Jose State will play at Beaver Stadium in 2026.

In addition, Penn State announced a new game against Marshall in 2026. Marshall's head coach is Charles Huff, who spent four years on James Franklin's staff at Penn State. It will be interesting to see whether Huff or Franklin are in their current jobs in 2026.

With the announcement, Penn State has completed its football schedules through 2024. The 2025 schedule has one open date, and the 2026 Big Ten schedule has yet to be announced.
