At the outset of the season, the Iowa Hawkeyes had more than half their games marked as TBD in terms of both game time and TV channel. One game that has remained in that TBD realm was the home matchup with Michigan State in week five. However, NBC had the rights to the game and all indications were the matchup would be broadcast on Peacock with a 2:30pm CT kick. That meant Hawkeye fans were set to need a Peacock subscription for the next 30 days.
On Monday, that all changed as news dropped that the kickoff was being formally announced as 6:30pm CT - our first night game in Kinnick for 2023.
