Watch Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft on FOX as Wisconsin @ Iowa goes up today

The 2026 NCAA Division I Field System — the Big Noon Kickoff’s college football game, known here as Wisconsin @ Iowa—is due to open play on Friday, 31 October 2026, with kickoff timed at 16:00 UK time. It will be called by Gus Johnson, the network’s play-by-play anchor for these games, alongside analyst Joel Klatt and reporter Jenny Taft, all broadcasting from the FOX network on FOX One.

For viewers tracking the broadcast across countries, FOX is a US-based network and features here rather than the UK’s Sky or ITV feeds, or a dedicated world feed. Those tuning in from Britain should plan around the 16:00 UK start, which lines up with the game’s scheduled kickoff on FOX One.

Who is calling the game

Gus Johnson serves as the play-by-play announcer for the network’s college football programme, and is known among fans for the team’s signature segments, including what the network brands as his Call of the Game. He has fronted some of the network’s biggest games of the season in previous years, pairing with colleagues to cover events from prominent college football arenas.

Alongside him sits Joel Klatt, who the network’s own profile describes as serving as the network’s lead analyst for these games. Klatt brings the team’s Breaking the Huddle segment to the table, a piece of in-game commentary that has become a staple of the broadcast and a highlight for viewers following the action closely.

The trio is completed by Jenny Taft, who acts as the sideline reporter, relaying live updates from the field as the game plays out. Together the three present the network’s flagship weekly college football call, a programme built around delivering the week’s headline matchup to fans of the sport.

What to expect

The Wisconsin @ Iowa matchup is a Division I Field System game, one of the core competitions that makes up the broader college football tournament. As with other games in the series, the broadcast is designed to give viewers a full look at how the teams fare, with each’s performance feeding into the wider evaluation of the season’s competition.

Fans following the network’s history will recognise that this particular trio has fronted games together in recent seasons, and the 2026 edition continues that format. Viewers can catch the full broadcast on FOX One from the 16:00 UK kickoff on 31 October 2026.
