Michigan football has inked two home games with Western Michigan, added a first meeting UTEP and confirmed a flip-flop of venues in the two-game series with Texas for some of its upcoming schedules.

Western Michigan will play at the Big House in 2026 (Sept. 5) and in 2029 (Sept. 1) and will receive $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the two games. The Wolverines are 8-0 against WMU with all games played at Michigan Stadium.

Michigan has never played UTEP, but the Miners will travel to Ann Arbor for a game on Sept. 19, 2026. That game is a week after the Wolverines host Oklahoma for the first time.
