The 2026 Penn State football schedule will be out in its entirety tonight. The Nittany Lions, who are led by first-year head coach Matt Campbell, open their season with a trio of non-conference games.

As for Penn State, Delaware announced in 2018 that it would play the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium for the first time in 2023 and again in 2027.

Penn State football’s 2027 nonconference schedule is no longer set. Matt Campbell’s Nittany Lions originally were set to face Delaware on Sept. 11, 2027 at Beaver Stadium. Delaware announced Wednesday that both programs have “mutually agreed to cancel the contest”.

Penn State and its fellow Big Ten peers will receive their 2026 conference football schedule tonight. The next set of games for the league is coming out about a month and a half later than last year’s did.
