Ohio State and Navy are set to meet in Ohio Stadium on September 1, 2029 to open the season.
In order to make that date work, Ohio State has pushed a game against Nevada already slated for that day to the following season. The Buckeyes will now host Nevada on September 7, 2030.
Ohio State has also announced that they added Youngstown State to the 2029 schedule. That game is set for September 15 of that year.
The Buckeyes still have a non-conference game availability for the season opener in 2030. Given that they also have a game at Georgia that season, don’t expect a major opponent.
Here are the future non-conference schedules for Ohio State.
Ohio State 2026 Non-Conference Schedule
Sept. 5 – Ball State
Sept. 12 – at Texas
Sept. 19 – Kent State
Ohio State 2027 Non-Conference Schedule
Sept. 4 – Bowling Green
Sept. 11 – New Hampshire
Sept. 18 – Alabama
Ohio State 2028 Non-Conference Schedule
Sept. 2 – Buffalo
Sept. 9 – at Alabama
Sept. 16 – Northern Illinois
Ohio State 2029 Non-Conference Schedule
Sept. 1 – Navy
Sept. 8 – Charlotte
Sept. 15 – Youngstown State
Ohio State 2030 Non-Conference Schedule
Aug. 31 – TBD
Sept. 7 – Nevada
Sept. 14 – at Georgia
The Buckeyes also have a non-conference game scheduled at home against Georgia in 2031, and a home-and-home against Boston College in 2035 and 2036.
All of this, of course, is subject to change.
