COLUMBUS, Ohio – Make your plans now, the Ohio State football program has filled out all of its schedules through the 2023 season after announcing three games on Thursday afternoon. The Buckeyes have announced home games against Arkansas State (2022), San Jose State (2023) and Western Kentucky (2023).

Ohio State’s 2020 and 2021 schedules were already completed in advance of this release of games.

The Buckeyes have never played against either Arkansas State or Western Kentucky in series history and only have one meeting against San Jose State, a 50-7 win in the 2002 season.

Ohio State’s game against Arkansas State will fall into the week two slot, a game after Ohio State hosts Notre Dame at Ohio Stadium for the season opener.

2023 will see the Buckeyes play San Jose State (week two) and Western Kentucky (week three) in back-to-back weeks after opening the season at Indiana in a season opening league contest.

It is being reported that Arkansas State will receive 1.8-million dollars for traveling to Ohio State to play the Buckeyes. Financial numbers were not immediately available for what either San Jose State or Western Kentucky will receive.
