The 2026 college football schedule for the Big Ten Conference was released at long last on Tuesday afternoon, giving fans of the Oregon Ducks an opportunity to forecast what's to come this season, and potentially book some flights to see their team on the road this fall.
While we have some thoughts and takeaways from the schedule, it also allowed us to see the distances that these Ducks will go in the fall.
With the move from the Pac-12 Conference to the Big Ten, Oregon's travel schedule obviously became more taxed. Rather than making trips down to Arizona or Utah for conference games, the Ducks made their way out to Pennsylvania and New Jersey in 2025 during the regular season.
While the 2026 schedule does not see any games on the East Coast for Oregon, they still have numerous opportunities to rack up those air miles. Here's a look at the miles that the Ducks will travel during the coming months, from Autzen Stadium to their destination:
at Oklahoma State (Saturday, September 12)
Miles traveled: 1,887
at USC Trojans (Saturday, September 26)
Miles traveled: 861
at Illinois Fighting Illini (Saturday, October 24)
Miles traveled: 2,136
at Ohio State Buckeyes (Saturday, November 7)
Miles traveled: 2,437
at Michigan State Spartans (Saturday, November 21)
Miles traveled: 2,340
Potential Big Ten Championship (Saturday, December 5)
Potential Miles Traveled: 2,261)
In total, without the Big Ten Championship game on the schedule, the Ducks are projected to travel 7,525 miles, which will be among the most in the nation this year.
