Mark it on the calendar now: the Gophers and Wisconsin will play November 27, 2026 at 6:30 p.m., closing out Minnesota's regular season with the rivalry game that always carries a little extra weight. Home or away hasn't been published yet, per Gopher Sports.
There's not much else to chew on yet this far out, no records, no rankings, no injury notes worth reporting. This is a schedule date, plain and simple, but for a rivalry this old, that's plenty to get Gophers fans circling the last Friday of November.
Minnesota and Wisconsin have played every year for over a century, and a season finale slot means this one, as usual, could carry real stakes for both programs depending on how the rest of the fall shakes out. For now, all we know for certain is the date and kickoff time. The rest of the 2026 schedule, and where this game fits into Minnesota's bigger picture, will fill in as the athletic department releases more details.
