The 125th team in USC history will open its 2017 slate with a three-game home stand at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

  • USC’s Sept. 2 season opener against Western Michigan, which won 13 games last year and played in the Cotton Bowl, will kick off at 2:15 p.m. PDT and be shown live on the Pac-12 Network.
  • USC next hosts conference foe Stanford on Sept. 9 at 5:30 p.m. PDT on Fox.
  • On Sept. 16, Texas will make its first Coliseum visit against the Trojans since 1967. That game also will air at 5:30 p.m. PDT on Fox.

USC’s Friday night clash at Washington State on Sept. 29 will start at 7:30 p.m. PDT on ESPN. The Trojans will travel to Notre Dame on Oct. 21 for its traditional intersectional battle, kicking at 4:30 p.m. PDT on NBC.

Start times and televising networks for USC’s remaining seven games of 2017 will be made six to 12 days before each contest.

The Pac-12 has television agreements with ESPN (including ESPN2, ESPNU and ABC), Fox (including Fox Sports S1) and the Pac-12 Network that will allow every conference football game to be shown live nationally in 2017.
