The Division I FBS competition between Eastern Michigan and Ohio takes place on Saturday, 24 October 2026, with broadcast beginning at 21:00 UK time. The game will be announced from ESPN's stadium broadcast suite by the play-by-play team of Doug Sherman and Tyoka Jackson, delivering the live feed through ESPN Unlimited, available on the ESPN+ platform.
