Penn State’s 2026 schedule: A trip to the Linc and a visit to Northwestern in debut of new stadium
Matt Campbell’s first season as Penn State’s football coach will feature five away games, including a visit to Lincoln Financial Field to face Temple in early September. Penn State’s full 2026 football schedule was released last week.
Campbell has the quarterback, the offensive continuity and the schedule to lead the Nittany Lions to the College Football Playoff.
Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt is excited to see how Illinois, Iowa and Penn State compete this fall with easier Big Ten football schedules to look forward to. Klatt was particularly impressed with one non-CFP Big Ten team last season.
Northwestern’s new stadium debut adds extra attention to what is already a tricky type of road environment — a Big Ten opponent playing with energy and emotion in a historic setting. Penn State will be tasked with spoiling the celebration.
