Wisconsin football will open their season under the Friday night lights.
Wisconsin football will be here sooner than we originally thought. Well, a day earlier. The Badgers will open their 2020 season at home against Illinois on Friday, October 23rd at 7:00 PM on the Big Ten Network (BTN).
The Badgers will be looking for some revenge after Illinois handed the then-undefeated Wisconsin football team their first loss in the 2019 campaign, virtually ending their chance at a College Football Playoff appearance.
