Penn State’s official game information listed its Nov. 14 home game against Minnesota for 7 p.m. Eastern at West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium, with FS1 carrying the broadcast. That scheduled kickoff time has passed as of this check, but the official pages available to verify still display pregame information rather than a final score or confirmed live play-by-play. No result is reported here as fact.
The game was the teams’ Big Ten meeting for the Governor’s Victory Bell. Fans looking for a final score should check the official Penn State Game Day Central or the Minnesota game center for a posted recap and statistics. The pages’ stale pregame status makes it impossible to verify the outcome from those sources at this update time.

What time did Penn State and Minnesota play?
Penn State listed kickoff for 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. On that date, University Park observed Eastern Standard Time, UTC−05:00, so 7 p.m. EST corresponded to midnight UTC at the start of Nov. 15. The game was scheduled for Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania. Penn State’s Game Day Central provides the venue and its Eastern-time listing; the school’s game notes also list a 7 p.m. start.
Some Minnesota athletics material surfaced with a 6 p.m. time. Since the game was in Pennsylvania and Penn State’s official game-day listing explicitly identifies 7 p.m. ET, this article uses the host school’s venue-specific time. Readers following the event from another time zone should convert from 7 p.m. Eastern on Nov. 14; the UTC date is Nov. 15.
What channel was the game on?
The Penn State athletics listing and official game notes named FS1 as the television channel. The listing also pointed fans to the Penn State Sports Network for radio coverage. Availability of FS1 on a particular cable, satellite or streaming package depends on the provider, and this report does not assert that every service carried the broadcast.
Because the scheduled start is now in the past, viewers seeking a replay or on-demand stream should check their provider and the official team coverage pages. The verified materials reviewed for this update establish the scheduled channel, but do not confirm any specific replay availability.
What was at stake in the Minnesota–Penn State matchup?
The schools’ official game notes described the contest as the 18th meeting in the series and said the winner receives the Governor’s Victory Bell. Penn State entered the matchup with a listed 5–4 overall record and a 2–4 Big Ten record. Minnesota was listed at 5–4 overall and 3–3 in conference play. Those were pregame records, not postgame standings.
Penn State’s notes said the Nittany Lions had won two straight games, including a 28–25 result at Washington, after a four-game losing streak. The notes highlighted quarterback Rocco Becht’s two touchdown passes in that win and receiver Chase Sowell’s four catches for 125 yards and a touchdown. Minnesota’s notes described a 34–20 loss to UCLA the previous week. Those recent results framed the matchup, but do not establish what happened against each other on Nov. 14.
The schools’ published series record favored Penn State 11–6 before the game, with a 6–2 mark at home. Their most recent meeting listed in Penn State’s notes was a one-point Nittany Lions victory, 26–25, in Minneapolis in 2024. The closely contested recent history made the Governor’s Victory Bell a notable rivalry prize, though a final score for this edition still needs an official postgame report.
Where can fans find verified live updates or the final score?
Start with the official Penn State Game Day Central, which links to statistics and team coverage, and Minnesota’s game center. Penn State’s official game notes support the scheduled time, channel, series details and pregame context. At the time checked, these pages had not provided a result that could be verified for this article. Check for a postgame recap or box score before relying on a score circulating elsewhere.
The available evidence confirms the scheduled event details and the teams’ published pregame records; it does not confirm a result, scoring sequence, injuries during the contest, or any change to kickoff. Those details are intentionally left out until an authoritative postgame update is available.
