Campbell Debut: Penn State’s New Era Begins | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State football enters a bold new chapter under first-year head coach Matt Campbell, who takes the reins after James Franklin’s mid-season exit in 2025. The Nittany Lions open their 2026 season at home against Marshall on September 5th at 3:30 PM ET, broadcast on FS1 and streamed via fubo. With a more manageable early schedule, Campbell’s debut is a critical test to establish his system, build momentum, and reignite Penn State’s competitive spirit. The season’s success will depend on how quickly Campbell connects with his team and translates his Iowa State-tested philosophy into wins on the field.
