Penn State football’s 2025 White Out opponent has been set… and it will be a night game.
The program announced that the Sept. 27 game against Oregon will be “White Out Night.”
This shouldn’t surprise anybody.
With Ohio State being a road game this season and Michigan not on the schedule, Oregon is, far an away, the most marquee opponent coming to Happy Valley this season. Oregon is the reigning Big Ten champion— beating Penn State to win that title— and entered the College Football Playoff as the top-ranked and only unbeaten team in the country.
Oregon figures to be a top 10 team at the beginning of 2025 as well. Penn State’s first three opponents— Nevada, FIU and Villanova— might beat Penn State… if they combine rosters. Otherwise, there’s no chance. Oregon has a tougher first three games, going against Montana State, Oklahoma State and Northwestern.
Nonetheless, Oregon should be heavy favorites in all three, so there’s no reason the two teams shouldn’t be undefeated and in the Top 10– if not the Top 5– when Oregon comes to University Park.
IT STAYS AT NIGHT

The biggest news about all this for some Penn State fans will be that the Oregon game will be at 7:30 on NBC.
Penn State’s White Outs work best at night. That’s why there hasn’t been a daytime White Outs since the Michigan game in 2015, which Penn State lost.
So, yes, a lot of people will be relieved about this.
OTHER TIMES
Some other game times have been announced for Penn State’s home schedule.
They are: Nevada (3:30 on CBS Aug. 30), FIU (noon on the Big Ten Network), Villanova (3:30 on FS1) and Northwestern, which will either be at noon, 3:30 or 4 on a network to be determined.
