For the first time in college football, the game can be seen in select IMAX theaters nationwide. Locally, the game will be broadcast live on IMAX screens in Cherry Hill, King of Prussia, Bensalem and Center Valley. TO The full list of cinemas nationwide can be found here.

After losing to No. 3 Ohio State last weekPenn State’s hopes of making the expanded 12-team playoff field depend on a strong outing against the Huskies. Despite the loss, if the season ended today, Penn State would host No. 10 Notre Dame in the first round of the expanded playoffs.

“College football has changed and we have an opportunity to move forward to right some wrongs,” Penn State head coach James Franklin said after the loss.

The College Football Playoff rankings will be updated each week on Tuesdays until the final bracket is announced on December 8.

It wasn’t just the fans who were upset about the loss. After the game, Franklin had a brief exchange with a fan in the student section who yelled something as the coach walked off the field.

“What’s your name? If you’re going to be man enough to talk, what’s your name?” Franklin responded in a video that quickly went viral on social media.

“Someone is yelling at me and my daughter a couple feet away as we were leaving the field. I’m fine with that. That comes with the territory. “I asked the young man what his name was.” Franklin told reporters at his weekly news conference.. “For me, it’s like publishing something. If you’re going to post something, do it with your picture and your name and own what you post… He started stuttering and backed away, and didn’t say his name.”

Here’s everything you need to know to watch or stream the Nittany Lions game:

Saturday’s Penn State-Washington game will stream exclusively on Peacock starting at 8 p.m. ET.

Calling the game will be Notre Dame broadcaster Paul Burmeister, whom Philadelphia sports fans likely remember from his decade-long stint as an NFL Network host. He has been on NBC since 2014.

Joining Burmeister will be Colt McCoy, the former Texas standout who spent 13 seasons in the NFL, six of them in Washington. Zora Stephenson will report from the sideline at Beaver Stadium.

” READ MORE: No. 6 Penn State has a widespread problem. James Franklin is confident that a solution will be found before Washington.

Unfortunately, no. The only place to watch Saturday’s game between Penn State and Washington is to stream it on Peacock.

It is one of nine Big Ten games that will air exclusively on the streaming platform this season.

If you don’t feel like paying the $7.99 a month for Peacock (there is no free trial, but they do have a student plan for $1.99 a month), you can tune 1210 WPHT. Longtime play-by-play announcer Steve Jones will announce the game on the radio, along with NFL Hall of Famer and former Nittany Lions linebacker Jack Ham.

Penn State enters Saturday’s game with an undefeated 3-0 record against Washington, but those three games span more than a century.

The first time the Nittany Lions faced the Huskies was in the final game of the 1921 season. The two teams also met in the 1983 Aloha Bowl and the 2017 Fiesta Bowl, which featured 92-yard touchdown run by current Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.

Penn State fans can expect more contests against Washington in the future, thanks to their jump from the Pac-12 to the Big 10 in August. The two are scheduled to play again in 2026 and 2027.

Tonight’s game will be a “White Out” at Beaver Stadium, meaning more than 110,000 fans in the stands will be dressed all in white.

The tradition dates back to 2004, when Penn State’s then-director of brand and communications Guido D’Elia came up with a campaign to rally students after several lackluster seasons in the early 2000s. What started in the student section grew to include everyone fans in 2007, when everyone in Beaver Stadium wore white during Penn State’s 31-10 victory against Notre Dame.

Since then, Penn State has hosted a White Out game each season except 2020, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the most memorable was in 2016, when Penn State defeated No. 2 Ohio State in Franklin’s first win against a ranked opponent.
