Football Games Today: Sunday, September 6 TV Schedule
I checked official NCAA, network, and NFL listings to sort out which football games are on today and where to watch them.
Why I looked this up
I wanted a direct answer to a simple question: what football games are on today? Because “football” can produce a mixture of schedules and stale listings, I checked current NCAA, broadcaster, and NFL pages rather than relying on a search-results summary.
For Lookup Notes, “today” means Sunday, September 6, 2026, in the America/New_York time zone. The games below are the nationally televised college matchups I could verify from the cited official listings. All times are Eastern.
The short answer
| Time | Matchup | TV or streaming |
|---|---|---|
| 12:00 p.m. ET | Texas Southern at Prairie View A&M | ESPN2 |
| 3:00 p.m. ET | South Carolina State vs. Florida A&M | ESPN |
| 4:00 p.m. ET | Albany State vs. Johnson C. Smith | NFL Network |
| 4:00 p.m. ET | Washington State at Washington | NBC and Peacock |
| 7:30 p.m. ET | Louisville vs. Ole Miss | ABC |
| 7:30 p.m. ET | Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame | NBC and Peacock |
The NCAA opening-week schedule lists the Texas Southern–Prairie View A&M, South Carolina State–Florida A&M, Washington State–Washington, Louisville–Ole Miss, and Wisconsin–Notre Dame games. ESPN’s official HBCU schedule also lists the first two games and the 4:00 p.m. Albany State–Johnson C. Smith matchup.
NBC Sports separately confirms that Washington State at Washington begins at 4:00 p.m. ET and Wisconsin–Notre Dame begins at 7:30 p.m. ET, with both available on NBC and Peacock.
My quick decision checklist
This is the order I would use to choose a game without scanning every listing again:
- Pick the time window: noon, midafternoon, 4:00 p.m., or 7:30 p.m. ET.
- Check the platform: ESPN2, ESPN, NFL Network, NBC/Peacock, or ABC.
- At 7:30 p.m., choose between two games: Louisville–Ole Miss on ABC or Wisconsin–Notre Dame on NBC and Peacock.
- Confirm the date and time zone: this list is specifically for September 6, 2026, in Eastern Time.
What I looked up next
I also checked whether “football games today” included an NFL game. It does not: the NFL’s official 2026 Week 1 schedule begins later in the week, so today’s verified national lineup is college football rather than NFL football.
