The Central Michigan Chippewas visit the Ohio Bobcats on Saturday 10 October 2026 at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio for a college football regular season game. Kickoff time and broadcast details are confirmed closer to game day.
FBS college football is the top tier of American collegiate football, contested by more than 130 teams across ten conferences and a handful of independents. The regular season runs from late August through early December, with most teams playing twelve regular-season games. Conference standings decide the participants in conference championship games, and the top twelve teams nationally qualify for the College Football Playoff, which culminates in the National Championship Game in January.
The Ohio Bobcats play their home games at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio, and compete in FBS college football. The Central Michigan Chippewas play their home games at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
Both clubs play in the MAC, so their regular season meetings feed directly into the standings and tiebreakers used when setting the final postseason seedings.
How to watch: College football games are broadcast across a patchwork of networks in the United States, including ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, Fox, FS1, CBS, NBC, Peacock, the SEC Network, Big Ten Network, ACC Network, and streaming on ESPN+. Broadcast assignments vary by conference TV rights and week; check local listings for specific games.
