The Pac-12 announced times and TV networks for the first three weeks of the 2021 football season on Thursday, meaning USC now has one-third of its schedule set when including last month's announcement of the Notre Dame game broadcast plans.

 

USC will open its season against San Jose State on September 4 in the Coliseum at 2 pm, with a game shown on Pac-12 Networks. USC did not have a game televised by Pac-12 Networks last season and had just one in 2019 after playing on the network twice in 2018.

Week 2 brings another home game for USC, though this one decidedly later in the day. Once again, USC and Stanford will kick off Pac-12 play and this edition will be a 7:30 pm kick in the first-ever Pac-12 After Dark game on FOX.

Another afternoon game greets the Trojans in Week 3, USC's first road trip of the year. The Trojans travel to Pullman, where the Washington State - USC game will kick at 12:30 pm on FOX.

USC's rivalry game against Notre Dame on October 23 will kick at 4:30 pm PT on NBC. The only other game with anything scheduled at this point is USC's home game against Utah on October 9, which will be shown on either FOX or FS1.
