What TV channel is Ohio State-Wisconsin on tonight? Live stream, how to watch online, time

The third-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) visit Big Ten West leader Wisconsin (5-2, 3-1) on Saturday, Oct. 28, one week after the Buckeyes’ 20-12 triumph over Penn State in a top-10 clash. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Peacock (free trial).

The Buckeyes survived a minor letdown in a similar situation earlier this season. After a last-second win at Notre Dame, Ohio State had a week off before struggling through much of a matchup with Maryland in its next game. The Buckeyes eventually pulled way in the fourth quarter to beat Maryland 37-17.

Ohio State heads into Wisconsin as a 14 1/2-point favorite. This game matches the Buckeyes against a Wisconsin team led by coach Luke Fickell, a former Ohio State defensive lineman, graduate assistant, assistant coach and interim head coach.

Ohio State beat Penn State by relying on star receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and a defense that ranks among the nation’s best. The Buckeyes are third among Bowl Subdivision teams in points allowed per game (10.0), fifth in yards allowed per game (260.1) and second in yards allowed per play (3.93).

That defense will be facing a quarterback making just his second career start.

Braedyn Locke bounced back from an early fumble and threw two touchdown passes last week as Wisconsin rallied from a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit to win 25-21 at Illinois. Locke now gets to make his first home start in prime time against a top opponent.

When is Ohio State-Wisconsin?

Ohio State faces Wisconsin at 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. ET) on Saturday, Oct. 28.
