College football fans rejoice; Week 0 has arrived.
The now-traditional season opener from Dublin, Ireland, kicks off the festivities as Bill Belichick begins Year 2 at North Carolina against TCU.
Elsewhere Saturday, the lone ranked team on the slate, No. 14 USC, opens its campaign at home against San Jose State, and a pair of schools will play their first games since jumping to the FBS. Longtime FCS power North Dakota State hosts Jacksonville State, and Sacramento State travels to Eastern Michigan.
Here's everything you need to know to watch those games and more as college football returns for 2026.
