Michigan shifts 2027 football schedule following elimination of Week 0

Michigan adjusted its 2027 football schedule after the elimination of Week 0 across the Football Bowl Subdivision. The team will now open its season against Buffalo on August 28, moving up from previous plans. The road game against Texas is set for September 4, and the nonconference slate concludes against Eastern Michigan on September 11. Despite scheduling reports regarding the Eastern Michigan game, team spokespeople confirmed the matchup in Austin remains on the calendar. The change results in the team having two bye weeks throughout the season, with specific dates for those breaks currently pending. This schedule modification continues the home-and-home series with Texas, which began in 2024.
