College Football News · September 2026
College football’s second full weekend brings ranked teams into national television windows from noon onward. The September 12 slate offers several useful early-season measuring points, including a pair of prominent noon matchups and difficult road tests for ranked programs.
Featured Week 2 television games
| Matchup | Time (ET) | TV / streaming |
|---|---|---|
| No. 6 Oregon at Oklahoma State | 12:00 PM | ESPN / Disney+ |
| Arizona State at No. 10 Texas A&M | 12:00 PM | ABC |
| No. 11 Oklahoma at Michigan | 12:00 PM | FOX |
| No. 16 Penn State at Temple | 12:00 PM | ESPN2 |
| Washington State at Kansas State | 12:00 PM | TNT |
Why the noon window matters
Oregon’s visit to Oklahoma State gives the sixth-ranked Ducks an early road environment against a program capable of turning a routine-looking September trip into a difficult afternoon. At the same time, Oklahoma travels to Michigan for one of the day’s most recognizable nonconference matchups.
Arizona State’s trip to No. 10 Texas A&M adds another ranked-program test to the window, while Penn State plays Temple on ESPN2. Viewers following multiple teams will need to plan around substantial overlap rather than waiting for a single standalone game.
Streaming access depends on the network
A channel listing does not automatically mean the same streaming service carries every game. ESPN and ESPN2 access depends on the viewer’s television or ESPN plan, ABC availability can vary by local affiliate, and conference-network games may require a specific package. Disney+ availability also depends on the applicable plan and territory.
Confirm the channel in your ZIP code before kickoff, especially when a game is listed for a conference network, an authenticated app or a streaming service.
