To the disappointment of Trojan fans everywhere, USC recently announced that more of its upcoming football games will kick off at 11:00 p.m. Eastern time, a significant inconvenience for fans on the East Coast. This news dashes hopes that USC’s days of late-night games were over. The team’s 2024 home opener against the Utah State Aggies is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. local time, which translates to 11:00 p.m. for viewers in the East. This comes after the news earlier in May that USC will face Rutgers in an 11 Eastern, 8 Pacific Friday night game on Oct. 25.
The 2024 USC season will commence with a game against LSU at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, slated for a 7:30 p.m. Eastern kickoff on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Following that matchup, the Trojans pivot to the late-night kickoff against Utah State in Week 2. Then they will face the defending national champion, the Michigan Wolverines, at 3:30 p.m. Eastern and 12:30 Pacific in the Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Sept. 21.
Until USC reasserts itself as a perennial powerhouse in college football, fans should brace themselves for late-night games that fill valuable television slots for networks that invested millions of dollars in the realignment of the sport.
