Wisconsin football received time and TV designations for its end-of-the-season bout against Minnesota Wednesday.
UW will officially face the Golden Gophers on Friday, Nov. 27, at 6:30 p.m. CT on NBC. The news arrives the same day as the organization learned of its Sept. 6 bout against Notre Dame on NBC, Sept. 12 match against Western Illinois on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 6:15 p.m. CT on Big Ten Network and Sept. 19 contest vs. Eastern Michigan at 11:30 a.m. CT on Saturday, Sept. 19 live on Peacock.
The rivalry game will take place at Camp Randall Stadium for the first time since 2024, when the Badgers lost 24-7. UW will be in search of its first win against the Golden Gophers since 2023, when the Badgers secured a 28-14 triumph at Minnesota behind a strong performance from running back Braelon Allen.
The organization also received kickoff windows for homecoming games on the 2026 slate. Luke Fickell’s group’s yearly homecoming game — scheduled against Michigan State — will begin no later than 4 p.m. CT on Saturday, Oct. 3. Of note, Wisconsin’s road games against the Nittany Lions on Saturday, Sept. 26, and the Hawkeyes on Saturday, Oct. 31, will begin before 4 p.m. CT.
