2026-27 schedule finalized after Big Ten reveal

Posted on

The Big Ten announced the 2026-27 conference schedule today, which means that Michigan’s upcoming schedule is officially set.

The Wolverines will travel to Rutgers and host Northwestern during the Big Ten’s slate of December games. They’ll re-open conference play in 2027 on January 2nd against Washington.

Michigan’s trip to the West Coast is set for late January, with a game at USC on January 23rd and UCLA on January 26th.

Michigan’s first game against Michigan State is scheduled for February 13th in Ann Arbor, with the rematch in East Lansing set for a Friday night game on February 26th.

The non-conference schedule is headlined by games against UConn, Marquette, Villanova, Louisville, and the Players Era 16 in Las Vegas.

The Wolverines play Minnesota, Michigan State, and Ohio State twice. They’ll host Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Northwestern, Oregon, Purdue, and Washington. They’ll only play road games at Indiana, Nebraska, Penn State, Rutgers, UCLA, USC, and Wisconsin.

Time and television information is expected at a later date.

    Seemingly softer last three weeks than the last couple years.

    Doesn’t seem too bad. Not much of a gauntlet on the schedule. Late January through mid-February is toughest, but they do get their two most difficult games at home during that stretch.
