College Football Scores Today: Sunday, September 6 Schedule
I checked the NCAA schedule and official team pages to separate today’s upcoming college football games from scores that are already final.
Why I looked this up
I got curious about what people actually need when they search for “college football scores today.” A score page and a schedule page answer different questions, especially on a Sunday morning before the day’s games have started.
I checked the NCAA FBS scoreboard, the NCAA’s Week 1 schedule, and official team releases. This is a schedule snapshot for Sunday, September 6, 2026, rather than a list of completed finals.
Key takeaways
The NCAA’s Week 1 schedule lists five games for Sunday. Here they are in Eastern Time, which is the local time used by Lookup Notes:
| Kickoff | Matchup | TV or streaming |
|---|---|---|
| 12:00 p.m. ET | Texas Southern at Prairie View A&M — Labor Day Classic | ESPN2 |
| 3:00 p.m. ET | South Carolina State vs. Florida A&M — Orange Blossom Classic in Miami Gardens, Florida | ESPN |
| 4:00 p.m. ET | Washington State at No. 17 Washington | NBC and Peacock |
| 7:30 p.m. ET | No. 24 Louisville vs. No. 9 Ole Miss in Nashville, Tennessee | ABC |
| 7:30 p.m. ET | Wisconsin vs. No. 4 Notre Dame in Green Bay, Wisconsin | NBC and Peacock |
The school sources add useful confirmation for the three ranked matchups:
- Washington Athletics identifies Washington–Washington State as the Boeing Apple Cup at Husky Stadium, with a 1:00 p.m. PT kickoff on NBC. That is 4:00 p.m. ET.
- Louisville Athletics says its opener against Ole Miss is the Music City Kickoff at Nissan Stadium, beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
- Notre Dame Athletics lists the Wisconsin game at Lambeau Field for 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
My score-checking order
To keep scheduled games from being mistaken for final scores, I reduced my process to three checks:
- Start with the date. Confirm that the page says Sunday, September 6, 2026.
- Check game status. On the NCAA FBS scoreboard, distinguish an upcoming kickoff from an in-progress or final result.
- Verify kickoff and coverage. For a specific matchup, compare the NCAA listing with the participating school’s official game release.
That sequence matters today because all five NCAA-listed Sunday games were still part of the upcoming schedule when I made this morning snapshot.
What I looked up next
The two late games begin at the same time, so the broadcast choice is straightforward: Louisville–Ole Miss is on ABC, while Wisconsin–Notre Dame is on NBC and Peacock. Washington State–Washington occupies the earlier 4:00 p.m. ET window.
My main conclusion is simple: a search for today’s “scores” may lead to games that do not have scores yet. Before kickoff, the useful answer is the dated schedule above. Once play begins, I would return to the NCAA FBS scoreboard for changing game status rather than treating this static note as a live score feed.
