CHICAGO (WXYZ) -- Big Ten Network announced its schedule on Tuesday for the first three weeks of the 2017 college football season.
Michigan State's first 2017 appearance on the network will be Saturday, September 9, when the Spartans host Western Michigan at 3:30 p.m. BTN will also air Eastern Michigan's road game against Rutgers the same day at 3:30 p.m. The network will likely place one of the games on an alternate channel due to the timing conflict.
On Saturday, September 16, BTN will air Michigan's home game against Air Force, scheduled for a Noon kickoff.
Tuesday's announcement, combined with last week's ESPN/FOX Sports announcement, means the first three weeks of Big Ten television schedules are now finalized.
