Michigan football vs. USC: Kickoff time, channel announced 2024 Big Ten matchup

Michigan football and the University of Southern California have been scheduled to meet this fall for the first time as Big Ten foes since last November, but the kickoff time and TV channel were not made public.

That changed Tuesday, when it was announced the Wolverines will play the Trojans in Week 4 on Sept. 21 at 3:30 p.m. on CBS (streaming on Paramount+).

This is the fourth known kickoff time for U-M's 2024 schedule. It was announced Monday the Wolverines will open their season under the lights at 7:30 p.m. vs. Fresno State and will wrap up their regular season against Ohio State in its typical fashion; at noon on Fox in Columbus, Ohio, on Nov. 30.

The meeting between USC and Michigan will be the Trojans' first Big Ten matchup. U-M is 4-6 all-time against USC, but the two have not met in more than 15 years, since USC topped Michigan, 32-18, in the 2007 Rose Bowl.

Michigan is also scheduled to kickoff at Noon on Fox against Texas in Week 2.
