Big Ten Football Schedule Release: Oregon Ducks Tough Road Slate, Exciting Home Games

It's already announced that the Penn State Nittany Lions will host Oregon at Beaver Stadium on Sept. 27, the Ducks' first away game of the season.

Big Ten teams will play nine conference games, and the Ducks play three non-conference games, including a game vs. Oregon's in-state rivals, the Oregon State Beavers.

Oregon kicks off their non-conference next season with three straight home games. The Ducks will host FCS powerhouse Montana State travel to Eugene in their season opener on Aug. 30. Excluding the Covid-19 season in 2020, Oregon has had a non-FBS opponent on their schedule every year dating back to 2009.

Next, the only Power Four school to play Oregon during the non-conference, Oklahoma State will head to Autzen Stadium on Sept. 6 in an intriguing Big Ten vs. Big 12 showdown. That game will be followed up by a Sept. 20 showdown with the Oregon State Beavers. The Ducks traveled to Corvallis this season and ran away with a 49-14 win over their in-state rivals.

Oregon's 2024 Big Ten road schedule was pretty favorable, playing only four road games as the Ducks traveled to UCLA, Purdue, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

However, Oregon's 2025 Big Ten road schedule is not as favorable with five away games instead of four.

After playing four conference road games during Oregon's innagural Big Ten season, in 2025 the Ducks will have to travel to Iowa, Penn State, Northwestern, Rutgers, and Washington. Oregon will be racking up the frequent flyer miles with trips to Rutgers, which is located in Piscataway, New Jersey, and Penn State, located in University Park, PA.

In 2024, Oregon's home slate was one of the most highly-anticipated in college football. The Ducks hosted Michigan State, Ohio State, Illinois, Maryland, and Washington. Ohio State and Illinois both came into Autzen as ranked teams with the Buckeyes being the No. 2 team in the country at that time.

In 2025, Oregon will host Indiana, Minnesota, USC, and Wisconsin in Big Ten home games. The last time Oregon hosted USC was in 2023, the final year both teams played in the Pac-12. The Ducks pulled out the 36-27 win over USC. With Indiana exploding onto the scene this season and looking like one of the best teams in the country, their trip to Oregon gets a bit more interesting heading into 2025.

Notably, Oregon does not play Ohio State or Michigan in Big Ten play in 2025.
