Saturday’s football game between Michigan State and the University of Washington has been pushed back to 5:30 p.m. after a nationwide ground stop delayed the Huskies’ travel out of Seattle on Friday.
The schedule change affects a game that was already set for East Lansing, but the timing adjustment reflects a travel disruption that stretched on for several hours. With the Huskies unable to get out on time, the kickoff had to be moved from its original time to later in the day.
What changed for fans
The new 5:30 p.m. start gives both teams a little more runway before kickoff, but it also changes the rhythm for anyone headed to Spartan Stadium. Parking lots and stadium gates are scheduled to open at 3:30 p.m., with the MSUFCU Club & Suites opening at 4 p.m.
For fans planning around the game, the main takeaway is simple: the Washington Vs Michigan State kickoff is later than originally scheduled because of the travel delay tied to Friday’s nationwide ground stop. That makes the timing clearer for anyone following the game in East Lansing and planning arrival around the updated start time.
The matchup itself remains the same, but the logistics now come first. With Washington’s travel interrupted and the start time moved to 5:30 p.m., the focus shifts to getting both teams to East Lansing and ready for Saturday’s football game.
