Nebraska Huskers 2026‑27 season planning

Nebraska announced its 2026‑27 men’s basketball non‑conference schedule, featuring four power‑conference opponents and a neutral‑site game against Boise State in Sioux Falls. Home games will include Saint Louis, BYU, Kansas State, Providence, Butler, Creighton and several regional teams. At the same Big Ten media days, football coach Greg Schiano highlighted the Week 10 football matchup with Rutgers, noting the Scarlet Knights’ offensive strengths.

Two days later, head football coach Matt Rhule used the media session to defend the health of college football and point to near‑record viewership and the expanded College Football Playoff. He reviewed Nebraska’s recent progress, including a return to bowl eligibility after a long drought, and outlined goals for 2026: improved late‑season performance, a stronger offensive line, better quarterback development, and contending for the Big Ten championship. Rhule also addressed the transfer of five‑star quarterback Dylan Raiola as part of modern roster dynamics.
