Ohio State capped off last season with a convincing win over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff National Championship. The only real blemish on the Buckeyes' near-perfect year was a fourth consecutive loss at the hands of their arch-rival, the Michigan Wolverines. Now, a new-look Ohio State team enters 2025 with a title to defend and a score to settle. It's time to learn where to watch Ohio State football games in 2025.
COLUMBUS, OH - SEPTEMBER 13: Ohio State Buckeyes defensive lineman Beau Atkinson (14) reacts after recording a sack during the game against the Ohio Bobcats and the Ohio State Buckeyes on September 13, 2025, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, OH.

Ryan Day returns for his seventh season as OSU's head coach, and he'll be leading an overhauled (both through promotions and new hires) staff, which features new names at offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, offensive line coach, and quarterback coach.
The Buckeyes also lost several key players to the NFL, including quarterback Will Howard, Emeka Egbuka, and defensive captain Jack Sawyer. They are bringing back superstar wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and all-world safety Caleb Downs, but both sides of the ball will have a lot of fresh faces. Also, Julian Sayin takes over at quarterback this year, a former Alabama Crimson Tide recruit now in his sophomore season at OSU, bringing plenty of potential and just as much to prove.
If Ohio State wants to win back-to-back championships (and defeat Michigan for the first time since 2019), they'll have to build chemistry as they install new offensive and defensive systems. It's a lot to accomplish in one season, and we'll have to wait and see if the Buckeyes are up to the challenge.

Fans following the Ohio State football schedule 2025 will have plenty of opportunities to watch the Buckeyes in action across these major networks.
