Michigan is getting ready for the 2024 season because they still have something to prove after going 15-0 and winning the National Championship last season, but they will not be on the national stage on Friday Night this year.

When people think of college football on Fox, they think of their Big Noon Kickoff game, where their best game of the week is at 12:00 PM ET. It usually features Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, or big-time Big-12 schools like Texas and Oklahoma. Still, both schools will be heading to the SEC this season, so they will no longer be part of the Big Noon Kickoff unless they are playing a Big Ten or Big 12 team like Texas will be playing at Michigan this season on Big Noon.
Fox is rolling out a Friday Night Football Slate this year, and they announced the schedule on Wednesday; Michigan was not on it.

The Wolverines were among the few Big Ten teams not to make the Friday Night Football schedule, along with Indiana, Ohio State, Minnesota, Penn State, and Wisconsin.
The first game will be played on Friday, September 13th, between Arizona and Kansas State, two Big 12 schools. The Big Ten will have the next nine games before Utah and Colorado from the Big 12 close the regular season on November 29th.
