How to Find Michigan State Spartans' Upcoming Schedule and Recent Results

Updated

The fastest way is the Spartan Schedule section on the msuspartans.com homepage. It splits into two lists: Upcoming Events (date, time, sport, opponent, plus links to tickets, watch/listen, and live stats where available) and Recent Results (final score and links to the story recap and box score). If you want a single view across all sports, use the Composite Calendar link in that same section.

Step-by-step: reading the homepage schedule

  1. Open msuspartans.com and scroll to the Spartan Schedule block.
  2. Check Upcoming Events for what's next. Each entry follows the pattern: date | time | sport vs opponent, with action links underneath.
  3. Check Recent Results for completed games. Each entry shows the final score and, where published, Story Recap and Box score links.
  4. Click Composite Calendar for the full all-sports view.

What each entry actually tells you

Field Where it appears What it gives you
Date and time Upcoming Events When the event starts (e.g., Sep 27 | 1 PM)
Sport and opponent Upcoming Events Who is playing whom (e.g., Women's Soccer vs No. 18/17 Washington)
Tickets Upcoming Events Direct link to buy, when ticketing is offered for that event
Watch / Listen / Live Stats Upcoming Events How to follow along, when those options exist
Final score Recent Results Result with winner and margin (e.g., Football 13 vs Nebraska 31)
Story Recap / Box score Recent Results Deeper coverage and full statistics, when published

Not every event carries every link. In the homepage data, for example, the Sep 27 baseball and softball entries list no watch, listen, or ticket links, while the women's soccer and volleyball entries do. Treat missing links as "not offered here," not as an error.

Worked example from the homepage

Say you want to know what's happening the weekend of September 27, 2026:

  • Upcoming Events shows Women's Soccer vs No. 18/17 Washington at 1 PM, Volleyball vs #14 Penn State at 2 PM, Baseball vs Xavier at 3 PM, and Softball vs Northwood at 4 PM — all on Sep 27.
  • Recent Results shows Football's 13–31 home loss to Nebraska (Sep 26), Men's Soccer's 3–0 win over No. 13 Wisconsin (Sep 25), Volleyball's 1–3 loss to Washington (Sep 25), Field Hockey's 0–6 loss at No. 1 Northwestern (Sep 25), and Women's Soccer's 3–2 win over Nebraska (Sep 24).
  • Clicking Story Recap or Box score on any result opens the full write-up or statistics.

Common snags

  • Times are listed without a time zone. The homepage shows clock times only; confirm the local time zone before planning around an event.
  • "All Day" events. Men's Golf vs Windon Memorial (Sep 28) is listed as All Day, so there is no single start time to plan around.
  • Rankings move. Opponents appear with rankings attached (e.g., No. 18/17 Washington, #14 Penn State). These reflect the moment the page was published and can change.
  • Scores are shown from MSU's perspective. "Football 13 vs Nebraska 31" means MSU scored 13 and lost; the word "Loss" or "Win" is also printed alongside.

When to use something other than the homepage

  • You want one sport only: the Composite Calendar or that sport's own schedule page filters out everything else.
  • You want to attend: go through the Tickets link on the specific event, or the Tickets quick link, rather than the schedule text.
  • You want to follow live: use the Watch, Listen, or Live Stats links on the event entry — these are the site's own pointers to coverage, and they are not present for every game.
