7 p.m.	Harvard at Dartmouth	ESPNU
7:30 p.m.	Baylor at UCF	ESPN

UCF Athletics lists the Baylor game as “Fri, Oct 30” at “7:30 PM EDT” in Orlando, Florida, at the Acrisure Bounce House. Sacramento State is the home team against Kent State. We did not confirm venues for the other games, so the table does not name them.

What time are the games in my time zone?

Oct. 30 is before the U.S. clock change on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, so Eastern Time is four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-4). We converted the NCAA.com start times ourselves.

Game	ET	Central Time (CT)	Mountain Time (MT)	Pacific Time (PT)	TV
Tulane at Charlotte	7 p.m.	6 p.m.	5 p.m.	4 p.m.	ESPN2
Harvard at Dartmouth	7 p.m.	6 p.m.	5 p.m.	4 p.m.	ESPNU
Baylor at UCF	7:30 p.m.	6:30 p.m.	5:30 p.m.	4:30 p.m.	ESPN
Kent State at Sacramento State	10:30 p.m.	9:30 p.m.	8:30 p.m.	7:30 p.m.	ESPN2

Arizona does not change its clocks, so until Nov. 1 it matches the Pacific Time column. Sacramento State Athletics announced on May 27, 2026 that its home game against Kent State would be on ESPN2 at 7:30 p.m. Pacific, which matches the table.

Which game is on which channel?

Channel	Game and start
ESPN	Baylor at UCF, 7:30 p.m. ET
ESPN2	Tulane at Charlotte, 7 p.m. ET; Kent State at Sacramento State, 10:30 p.m. ET
ESPNU	Harvard at Dartmouth, 7 p.m. ET

ESPN2 carries both the first and the last game of the night, 3 hours 30 minutes apart by start time. The 7 p.m. ET window has two games on different channels, ESPN2 and ESPNU. Dartmouth Athletics confirmed the ESPNU broadcast when it announced on June 10, 2026 that the Harvard game had been rescheduled.

We did not confirm streaming options, so check your TV provider’s guide for how to watch each channel.

What is the late game on Friday night?

Kent State at Sacramento State starts at 10:30 p.m. ET, which is 7:30 p.m. PT. It is the last of the four games on the NCAA.com list. For viewers on Pacific Time, Baylor at UCF starts at 4:30 p.m. and the late game follows at 7:30 p.m.
