WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The 2024 Big Ten Conference slate is set for Purdue Football, as the league office announced next season's conference schedule Thursday afternoon (Nov. 2). While the Boilermakers already knew their opponents and the locations, dates have been finalized for the conference matchups.
Next season, Purdue will open up Big Ten play at home against Nebraska (Sept. 28). The contest against the Cornhuskers will serve as the Boilermakers' annual Homecoming game. It will mark the 12th straight season the two teams have squared off on the gridiron.
The month of October will begin with back-to-back road games at Wisconsin (Oct. 5) and Illinois (Oct. 12). While it will be on the only trip to Madison over the next five seasons, the Boilermakers will host the Badgers in 2026. After battling with Illinois to keep possession of the Cannon Trophy, Purdue will return home to host new Big Ten-member Oregon (Oct. 19). The Ducks will make the trip to West Lafayette for just the third time in history (1979, 2008).
Purdue will end October with a bye week (Oct. 26), using the break to prepare for Northwestern to kick off November (Nov. 2). Following the contest against the Wildcats, the Boilermakers will conclude their regular season with three of their final four games away from home. The stretch starts with Purdue traveling to Ohio State (Nov. 9). One week later (Nov. 16), the Boilermakers will welcome Penn State to Ross-Ade Stadium for the final home game of the 2024 campaign. Closing out the slate, Purdue will hit the road to face Michigan State (Nov. 23) before heading to Indiana for the annual Old Oaken Bucket Game (Nov. 30).
Game weeks are solidified, while specific game dates are subject to change due to network assignment, which will be announced within the next month.
