A full weekend of professional and college sports is under way after a busy Oct. 30, 2026, slate that produced lopsided NBA wins and a six-goal NHL night in Calgary.

College football carries the heaviest Top-25 load, with 18 ranked matchups listed. Top-ranked Miami visits North Carolina, second-ranked Ohio State travels to Southern Cal, and third-ranked Georgia hosts Florida. Elsewhere, fifth-ranked Notre Dame plays Navy, and fourth-ranked Indiana hosts Minnesota.

Major League Soccer also has a full list of games, including CF Montréal at New York City FC and D.C. United at Columbus. The WNBA playoffs continue with Atlanta at Golden State.

Why does the October schedule matter?
