Tennessee and Nebraska will no longer be playing each other in football in 2026 and 2027.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that Tennessee and Nebraska are canceling the upcoming football series, which was scheduled for 2026 in Lincoln and 2027 in Knoxville.
“A driver of the move was Nebraska wanting eight home games in 2027 when they expected reduced stadium capacity because of renovations,” Thamel said.
Tennessee athletic director responded on X to Thamel’s post offering a correction.
“Tennessee is not canceling this series,” White said. “Nebraska did. We are very disappointed that they didn’t want to play these games, especially this close to 2026.”
Interesting.
Brett McMurphy reports that Nebraska will have to pay $500,000 to cancel the series that was agreed on way back in 2006.
