How Wisconsin’s Future Football Schedule Comes Together
Each season Wisconsin plays a nine-game Big Ten slate the conference assigns, plus three non-conference games the school books on its own, often years ahead. Under the Big Ten’s scheduling model, Wisconsin’s protected annual rivals (Iowa and Minnesota) recur every year while the rest of the schedule rotates, which means the Badgers see the whole league on a regular cycle.
As the Big Ten finalizes dates and Wisconsin fills its remaining non-conference slots, this Wisconsin future football schedule page updates so you always have the current opponent list and printable in one place.
