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.
