Nebraska to Host Illinois for Friday Night Football
Friday Night Football is coming to Lincoln.
The Big Ten Conference and FOX announced a number of games slated for the network's Friday Night Football package for the upcoming season. Nebraska's home game against Illinois was among the announced matchups.
Nebraska will host Illinois on Friday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. CDT. The game, televised on FOX, was originally scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 21.
This is the first non-Black Friday, weekday home game for Nebraska since Sept. 20, 2001, when NU hosted Rice. That game had been postponed following the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
Two of Nebraska's games this fall now have announced game times. Besides the Illinois game, Nebraska will host Colorado on Sept. 7 at 6:30 p.m. CDT.
Other Friday Night Football games on FOX for this fall include Arizona at Kansas State on Sept. 13, Washington at Rutgers on Sept. 27, Michigan State at Oregon on Oct. 4, Northwestern at Maryland on Oct. 11, Oregon at Purdue on Oct. 18, Rutgers at USC Oct. 25, Iowa at UCLA on No. 8, Purdue at Michigan State on Nov. 22, Utah at UCF on Nov. 29, and the Mountain West Championship on Dec. 6.
The Big Ten and its television partners are expected to announce additional game times and broadcast information before the end of May.
