Every game on Wisconsin football’s nonconference schedule through 2033
College football scheduling works well in advance, as teams set home and home matchups years ahead of time.
The Badgers have the toughest home and home battle you can ask for already on the schedule. Alabama will pay Wisconsin a visit on September 14, 2024, with the Badgers paying a return visit to the Crimson Tide the following season.
Wisconsin also has a home and home set with UCLA, Washington State, and Pittsburgh. This season, the Badgers play all three nonconference games at home, as they take on Illinois State, Washington State, and New Mexico State at Camp Randall.
Here is a look at every game on Wisconsin’s nonconference schedule through 2033:
