Nebraska hosts Ohio for 2026 home football season opener

Nebraska begins its 2026 home football season this Saturday at Memorial Stadium with an 11 a.m. CT kickoff against Ohio. University officials report that construction and city street modifications may affect traffic flow, advising fans to use the Waze application for navigation. Memorial Stadium continues its no re-entry policy and maintains the alcohol service procedures introduced last year, including a two-drink limit per transaction. Several stadium gates, specifically 1, 6, 8, 17, 21, and 22, will be closed or restricted, while gate 11 is reserved for ADA and service access. Aramark S+E is expanding the concessions menu for the season with new items like the N-Shaped Pretzel and various breakfast options for early kickoffs. The Cornhusker Kickoff fan event will operate at the Hawks Championship Center starting four hours before the game.
