Get ready for a jam-packed stretch of live sports, because FOX has stacked the lineup from late August all the way through mid-September. We’re talking about a little bit of everything—the crack of the bat in Major League Baseball, the gridiron battles of college football, the roar of the engines in NASCAR, and even some international soccer. It’s a true feast for any sports fan.
America’s Pastime: MLB’s Final Stretch
Before the football frenzy fully takes over, baseball gets its chance to shine with some fantastic late-summer matchups. The action kicks off on Thursday, August 27th, with a primetime showdown as the Los Angeles Dodgers travel to face the Atlanta Braves, a potential World Series preview. Then, get ready for the greatest rivalry in sports on Saturday, August 29th, when the Boston Red Sox head to the Bronx to take on the New York Yankees. If that’s not enough, things heat up again the following Saturday, September 5th, with a double dose of National League action. The Arizona Diamondbacks visit the Houston Astros for an interleague clash, while the New York Yankees continue their West Coast trip against the San Diego Padres. It’s a fantastic way to catch some crucial games as the playoff race tightens.
College Football: The Main Event
But the real headliner of this period is the return of college football, and FOX is pulling out all the stops for its coverage. The season gets an early jump with a Week 0 appetizer on Saturday, August 29th, as the Memphis Tigers travel to Sin City to battle the UNLV Rebels. The following weekend, the slate explodes with must-see matchups. On Friday, September 5th, you’ve got a Pac-12 after dark special as the Fresno State Bulldogs take on the USC Trojans. However, the biggest game of the early season lands on Saturday, September 12th, when the Oklahoma Sooners make a monumental trip to Ann Arbor to face the Michigan Wolverines in a game that will have massive College Football Playoff implications. That same day, you can also catch a classic Big 12 rivalry renewed as the Missouri Tigers visit the Kansas Jayhawks, and a late-night clash between the Arizona Wildcats and the BYU Cougars.
Beyond these marquee games, the FOX One app is your ticket to a truly comprehensive college football experience. Through the FOX One platform, you can stream a wealth of additional games that might not be on the main FOX network. For instance, you can follow the North Texas Mean Green as they visit the Indiana Hoosiers, or cheer on the Ohio Bobcats as they try to pull off a massive upset against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The action continues on and on, with games featuring teams like the Boston College Eagles against the Cincinnati Bearcats, the Marshall Thundering Herd taking on the powerful Penn State Nittany Lions, and the Northern Illinois Huskies facing a tough test at Iowa. You can even watch the Abilene Christian Wildcats take on Texas Tech, or see the Hampton Pirates battle the Maryland Terrapins. Late-night fans can catch the South Dakota State Jackrabbits at Northwestern, and the Central Michigan Chippewas traveling to face the New Mexico Lobos. It’s an absolute mountain of college football.
More from the World of Sports
Football and baseball aren’t the only games in town. Over on FS2, you can catch the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in action. The tournament features exciting group-stage matches, including a clash between Poland and Argentina on Friday, August 28th, followed by Brazil vs. Canada on Sunday, September 8th.
