ATHENS, Ohio— The Ohio football program is set to host the Eastern Michigan Eagles at 4 p.m. ET on ESPNU on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The matchup can also be heard on the Ohio Sports Network from Learfield, presented by Holzer Health System, with Marty Bannister and Rob Cornelius on the call.

Fans are encouraged to wear their favorite Bobcats gear for the final Saturday game at Peden in 2026. A Senior Day celebration will take place pregame. Additionally, join Ohio for Heroes Day to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of military members and first responders who protect and support the Bobcat community every day.

The Bobcats and the Eagles have met 35 times since 1976, boasting a 22-12-1 series record. The two teams last met on Oct. 25, 2025, with Ohio snagging its first road victory of the season. The game can be remembered by Ohio's strong offensive performance; quarterback Parker Navarro passed for over 300 yards for the first time, ending the game with a career-high 315 yards in the air. Wide receivers Rodney Harris and Chase Hendricks both logged 100-plus receiving yards apiece, marking Harris' first time breaking the 100-yard mark and Hendricks' sixth 100-plus-yard game of the season.

Ohio returns to action this Saturday, Oct. 17, heading to the West Coast to face off against Mid-American Conference newcomer Sacramento State. Kickoff is set for 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT and can be seen on ESPN+.
