The 2025 Big Ten football season is now less than nine weeks from kickoff. With official visits in the class of 2026 now complete, focus is turning toward the fast-approaching season. For reference, only 16 days remain until the start of the 2025 Big Ten football media days in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The upcoming season will again see iconic venues define some of the Big Ten’s greatest moments. In 2024, those moments included Michigan’s stunning win at Ohio State, Oregon’s impressive regular-season victory over the Buckeyes, and, finally, Ohio State’s revenge over the Ducks in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl.
