Nebraska Football to Open 2027 Season at Arrowhead Stadium

The game gives Nebraska another Arrowhead date as Memorial Stadium undergoes renovation and the Huskers keep seven home games in Lincoln.

  • Nebraska and Miami announced Tuesday they moved their 2027 season opener to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, for August 27, 2027, marking the first-ever meeting between the football programs.
  • Memorial Stadium will operate at reduced capacity next year due to major renovations, while the FBS Oversight Committee recently changed the playing calendar, allowing schools to start their season a week earlier.
  • Nebraska Deputy Athletic Director and Chief Operating Officer Haven Fields said, "Our fans and team enjoyed the game in Kansas City a year ago." The Huskers previously opened the 2025 season at Arrowhead, defeating Cincinnati 20-17.
  • The contest in Kansas City will not be included in Nebraska's 2027 season ticket package. Separately, Nebraska and Miami agreed to an additional matchup on September 6, 2031, in Lincoln.
  • This matchup marks the second time in three seasons the Huskers have opened a campaign at Arrowhead. Nebraska Athletics will release ticket information for the game at a later date.
