Ohio State's conference schedules are now set for each of the next eight seasons.
The Big Ten announced its conference schedules for 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 on Wednesday, which means we now know who the Buckeyes will play in each of their nine conference games in each of those seasons.
Of note, Ohio State will play Wisconsin in cross-divisional games in each of those four seasons, while the Buckeyes will also play Iowa and Northwestern each twice and will play Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and Purdue each once over those four seasons.
Ohio State will open its Big Ten schedule at Michigan State in 2022. The Buckeyes will open their 2023 season at Indiana. The Buckeyes' 2024 conference opener is set for Sept. 28 of that year against Illinois at Ohio Stadium. Ohio State will open conference play at Indiana again on Sept. 20, 2025.

Ohio State still has one open non-conference date in 2022, two open non-conference dates for 2023 and 2024 and one open non-conference date in 2025.
Wednesday's Big Ten schedule release could potentially lead to changes to the non-conference games that are already scheduled for those seasons, too, as Ohio State is currently scheduled to play six road games in both 2023 and 2025. It's possible that the dates for Ohio State's home-and-home series with Notre Dame, scheduled for 2022 and 2023, and Texas, scheduled for 2025 and 2026, could be flipped if it works for the other schools' schedules.
