Ohio State football makes changes to 2029 & 2030 non-conference schedules
Contests added against Navy and Youngstown State
The Ohio State University Department of Athletics has made three changes to future non-conference football schedules that will affect games in the 2029 and 2030 seasons.
Ohio State has added a game against Navy, scheduled for Sept. 1, 2029. The contest will be that season’s opening game. In order to add that game, Ohio State and the University of Nevada have agreed to move their previously scheduled game on that date to Sept. 7, 2030.
Ohio State also rounded out its 2029 non-conference schedule by adding a game against Youngstown State, which will be played at Ohio Stadium on Sept. 15, 2029. The Buckeyes have one game remaining in order to fill out the team’s non-conference schedules over the next five years: the season opener on Aug. 31, 2030.
