LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Nebraska football team will open its 2027 season against Miami (Ohio) at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
The Friday, Aug. 27, 2027, matchup will be the second time in three seasons the Huskers have opened a season at Arrowhead. This will mark the first-ever meeting between Nebraska and Miami (Ohio).
The Huskers and RedHawks were originally scheduled to play in Lincoln on Sept. 11, 2027, but moved the season opener after the FBS Oversight committee made changes to the playing calendar allowing schools to start a week earlier, according to Nebraska Athletics.
“Our fans and team enjoyed the game in Kansas City a year ago, and shortly after that contest we began having discussions with the Chiefs about returning to Arrowhead,” Nebraska Deputy AD/Chief Operating Officer Haven Fields said. “The 2027 schedule provided an opportunity to play a game in another great venue with Memorial Stadium at a reduced capacity, while maintaining seven games in Lincoln for our fans.”
The matchup with Miami (Ohio) in Kansas City will not be part of Nebraska’s seven-game season ticket package for 2027. Ticket information for the game at Arrowhead will be available at a later date.
Nebraska and Miami (Ohio) have also agreed to an additional matchup, with the contest scheduled for Sept. 6, 2031, in Lincoln.
