Ohio State-Washington kickoff time announced
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio State's first Big Ten game of the season now has a kickoff time.
The top-ranked Buckeyes' game Sept. 27 at Washington in Week 5 is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Ohio State is on a bye this week before traveling to Seattle.
The game will be the 13th meeting between Ohio State and Washington. The last meeting was at the 2019 Rose Bowl, when the Buckeyes won 28-23 over the Huskies to improve its all-time record to 9-3 against the former Pac-12 program.
The last regular season game between the two was also the last at Husky Stadium in Seattle, where Ohio State beat Washington 33-14 in 2007. The Huskies' last win against the Buckeyes was in 1994 at home 25-16.
This will be the first Big Ten game between the two since Washington's move to the conference in 2024. Ohio State's lone West Coast trip last season was a 32-31 loss to Oregon. It will travel to USC next season.

The Huskies are off to a fast start in their second Big Ten season and enter Week 4 with a 2-0 record. After wins over Colorado State (38-21) and UC Davis (70-10), Washington will play Saturday against Washington State in the 117th meeting of the Apple Cup.
The Big Ten has 11 teams without a loss after the opening three weeks, but that number will dwindle going into Week 5. Among the Week 4 games between undefeated Big Ten teams is No. 9 Illinois at No. 19 Indiana on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on NBC4.
Next Saturday's featured primetime game on NBC4 will be one of the games of the season as No. 6 Oregon takes on No. 2 Penn State in a rematch of last season's Big Ten championship game. The Ducks have yet to lose a Big Ten game since joining the conference last season.
