Wisconsin added 34 transfers and boosted roster spending as Luke Fickell tries to end back-to-back losing seasons.
- Wisconsin added 34 transfers, including 27 from Bowl Subdivision programs, as head coach Luke Fickell seeks to revitalize the program following a 4-8 season in 2025.
- Former athletic director Chris McIntosh retained Fickell before departing to the Big Ten office, believing financial support could enable success after the program's Power Four-leading 22 straight winning seasons ended.

- Wisconsin opens with high-profile matchups, including Notre Dame at Lambeau Field on Sept. 6, while the schedule excludes the three Big Ten teams that qualified for last year's College Football Playoff.
