Big Ten Announces Several More Nebraska Football Kickoff Times

The game moving is the Minnesota contest, which will now be played in Minneapolis on Friday, Oct. 17. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. CDT on FOX.

This season will mark the fourth straight year Nebraska has played multiple Friday games, including the Huskers’ annual Black Friday game against Iowa.

Other Big Ten games to receive kickoff times are the home games against Michigan (Sept. 20) and Iowa (Nov. 28). The contest against the Spartans will be at 2:30 p.m. with the Hawkeyes in Lincoln at 11 a.m.. Both of those games will be broadcast on CBS.

Nebraska's Oct. 4 game at Michigan State will not be a night game, as it is slated for either an 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m., or 3 p.m. kickoff.

The rest of Nebraska's non-conference slate has kickoff times. The Huskers will host Akron at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 6 on Big Ten Network. On Sept. 13 at 11 a.m. on FS1, the Big Red will take on Houston Christian.

ESPN had previously released the start time for Nebraska's season-opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. That game will be at 8 p.m. CDT on Aug. 28 on ESPN.
