One of the most highly anticipated games on Washington’s 2025 football schedule will take place when the Ohio State Buckeyes, led by Ryan Day, travel to Seattle to take on Jedd Fisch’s Huskies. This early-season clash will be a major test for Washington, as Ohio State enters the season as the reigning national champion.
Interestingly, this marks the second consecutive season that Washington will host the defending national title winner. Last year, the Huskies took down Michigan in a thrilling matchup at Husky Stadium. Now, they’ll have another chance to take on the best this time against the Buckeyes.
When Will Washington Face Ohio State?
The Huskies will welcome Ohio State to Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium on September 27, 2025. This game will be Washington’s fourth of the season (Week 5), following a bye week and a trip to Pullman to face Washington State in the Apple Cup.
The timing of this game presents a challenge, as Washington won’t have the luxury of a bye week leading into the matchup. Instead, they’ll need to use their game against Wazzu to fine-tune their performance and prepare quarterback Demond Williams Jr. for the toughest test of the season.
Taking on Ohio State at home certainly gives Washington a fighting chance, but they’ll need to bring their A-game if they hope to pull off another upset against a national powerhouse.
