What we found

Supports. The Fox Big Noon Kickoff page states the show airs every Saturday at 10am ET on FOX, matching the claimed start time.[3]

Supports. TV Passport listings show Big Noon Kickoff at 10:00 AM on FOX Eastern for upcoming Saturdays, including October 31 and November 7.[4]

Supports. Yahoo Sports reports the show airs Saturday at 9 a.m. CT, which equals 10 a.m. ET, on Fox, consistent with the claimed time for the Iowa City episode.[5]

Context. Fox's page notes that select weeks feature a three-hour special going live at 9 AM Eastern, so the 10 AM ET start is the regular rather than universal time.[3]

Context. The 2025 AP and Reuters coverage of the season opener refers to the show's Saturday schedule without contradicting the 10 AM ET time.[1][2]
