Penn State footballโs 2025 White Out opponent has been setโฆ and it will be a night game.
The program announced that the Sept. 27 game against Oregon will be โWhite Out Night.โ
This shouldnโt 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 championโ beating Penn State to win that titleโ 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 Stateโs first three opponentsโ Nevada, FIU and Villanovaโ might beat Penn Stateโฆ if they combine rosters. Otherwise, thereโs 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 thereโs no reason the two teams shouldnโt be undefeated and in the Top 10โ if not the Top 5โ when Oregon comes to University Park.

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 Stateโs White Outs work best at night. Thatโs why there hasnโt 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 Stateโs 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.
