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 moved their 2027 season opener to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, for August 27, 2027, the schools announced Tuesday. This marks the first-ever meeting between the two football programs.
  • Memorial Stadium will operate at reduced capacity next year due to major renovations, while the FBS Oversight Committee's recent changes allow schools to start their seasons a week earlier. The Huskers and RedHawks were originally scheduled to play in Lincoln on Sept. 11, 2027.
  • 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 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. Nebraska and Miami also agreed to an additional matchup scheduled for 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 provide ticket information for the game at a later date.
