We have known USC\u2019s 2026 football schedule<\/a> for several months now. However, on Friday, we got a notable development, as one of the Trojans<\/a>\u2019 games has been moved up a day.<\/p>\n

Friday morning, Fox announced<\/a> its Fox College Football Friday schedule for the 2026 season. The slate will kick off with USC\u2019s Week 1 matchup against Fresno State<\/a> at the Coliseum.<\/p>\n

The game, which was previously scheduled for Saturday, September 5, will now be played on Friday, September 4. It will kick off at 6:00 p.m. Pacific time and be televised by Fox.<\/p>\n

This marks the third consecutive season that the Trojans will play a Friday night home game. USC faced Rutgers on a Friday in 2024 and Northwestern<\/a> last year. The Trojans won both games.<\/p>\n

While the game will be played in Week 1 of the college football season, it will not be the Trojans\u2019 first game of the year. USC will open its 2026 campaign in Week Zero<\/a> against San Jose State, six days prior.<\/p>\n
