Bowling Green Announces Future Date with Nebraska
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Bowling Green announced today a future football matchup with Nebraska, set for Sept. 12, 2026, at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.
To accommodate the meeting with the Huskers, BGSU's 2026 home contest against Saint Francis has been moved to Sept. 5, 2026, at Doyt Perry Stadium. Additionally, BGSU's previously scheduled 2026 game (Sept. 5) against Arizona State has been mutually dropped to facilitate the Saint Francis game shift and will not be rescheduled.
Bowling Green and Nebraska have never met in football, and the game will mark the Falcons' first-ever contest in the state of Nebraska. The Huskers will become the 14th different active Big Ten Conference opponent to face the Falcons.
The Falcons have also never faced Saint Francis in football. The Red Flash, based in Loretto, Pa., will be the first opponent BGSU has played from the Northeast Conference.
The Falcons previously announced a road game at Iowa State on Sept. 19, 2026, which leaves the Falcons currently with one non-conference opening remaining on its 2026 football schedule.
