Nebraska football will open its 2025 season against Cincinnati in Kansas City on a Thursday night.
Nebraska announced the change on Monday for its season-opening matchup against Cincinnati. That game had previously been scheduled to take place in Indianapolis, but will now be held Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025, at Arrowhead Stadium.
Nebraska and Cincinnati also announced they have changed the date of a previously scheduled matchup at Memorial Stadium. The teams will now meet in Lincoln on Sept. 10, 2033, after previously being scheduled to play in the 2032 season.
«We are pleased to partner with the University of Cincinnati and the Kansas City Chiefs to bring our 2025 season-opening matchup to Arrowhead Stadium,» Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen said in a statement. «Since arriving at Nebraska, one constant message I have heard from our fans is they miss having road football games that are within driving distance. This game offers an excellent opportunity for our great fan base to make a short trip to watch the Huskers open the season and enjoy Labor Day weekend in Kansas City.»
