The 2021 Nebraska Football season is just 93 days from kickoff, and the Huskers learned game times for six of their regular-season contests Thursday afternoon. The game times and television network designations were part of an announcement by the Big Ten Conference and the league's television partners, including BTN, ESPN and FOX.
Nebraska opens the 2021 campaign with a Big Ten West matchup in Week Zero at Illinois. The Aug. 28 opener will be televised on FOX with a Noon CT kickoff. The Husker-Illinois game is one of only five FBS games in Week Zero and the only conference matchup.
