The game, originally scheduled for 1:15 p.m., will still be shown on the Big Ten Network, with no other football games overlapping into the cable channel's later TV time slots. A nationwide FAA ground stop kept the Huskies from leaving on their chartered flight from Boeing Field for six-plus hours, sending the players back to campus by bus to wait out the long delay. With the rearranged schedule and air travel restored at 5:15 p.m. PT, Jedd Fisch's team wasn't expected to arrive until 2:20 a.m. at Capital Region International Airport in Lansing, Michigan. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🚨 KICKOFF UPDATE⁰Tomorrow’s game at Michigan State now kicks at 2:30 PM PT after Friday’s FAA ground stop. ➡️ <a href="https://t.co/rRHwFrvu7H" rel="nofollow">https://t.co/rRHwFrvu7H</a><a href="https://t.co/DKDTsjzBPW" rel="nofollow">pic.twitter.com/DKDTsjzBPW</a>— Washington Football (@UW_Football) <a href="https://x.com/UW_Football/status/2121465464236990464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow">November 14, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>Other schools affected by the FAA shutdown either took chartered busses to their football games or planned to fly early on Saturday to reach their destinations. In a season full of nonstop injuries, poor performance and costly penalties, the Huskies (5-4 overall, 2-4 Big Ten) could ill afford to have something else go wrong this fall. With a lack of sleep or in dealing with jet lag, the UW could be at a decided disadvantage in facing last-place Michigan State (3-6, 1-5). The Huskies will have ready-made excuses if this one doesn't go well.Fisch's football team wasn't the only UW athletic entry affected by the flight shutdown and forced to scramble to play a weekend game with a new starting time.The Husky basketball team (2-0) had its Saturday game at Utah (3-0) -- its first road game of the season -- rescheduled from its 4 p.m. tipoff that day to Sunday morning at 11 a.m. That game still will be telecast on ESPN+.
