USC football schedule for 2024 and 2025 revealed

The USC football schedule for 2024 and 2025 as they enter the Big Ten is officially here with the Trojans facing a tough slate.

It may not feel real yet, but USC is going to be a Big Ten team in less than a year. Of course, the release of the 2024 and 2025 schedules probably does more to make that reality tangible than anything else.

The Big Ten announced their new scheduling model with protected rivals and flex scheduling that will ensure every team plays everyone else in the conference once every two years.

USC has one protected rival: UCLA. The Trojans will never skip a matchup with the Bruins.

While USC won’t play Ohio State in the first year of Big Ten membership, their opening schedule is a gauntlet. Out of conference they will play LSU and Notre Dame, then in conference they will travel to play Michigan while hosting Penn State and Wisconsin.
