Wisconsin begins its 2021 campaign in just over two weeks as the Badgers hope to return to a year where every game happens according to schedule.
The non-conference is back this year, including an out of conference clash with perennial powerhouse Notre Dame led by former Wisconsin QB Jack Coan. The Badgers also open the year with one of their toughest conference tests as Penn State visits Camp Randall. Wisconsin is fortunate in having Penn State, Michigan, and Iowa at home while not having to face Ohio State.
Everything sets up well for Wisconsin to return to Indianapolis as Big Ten West champions. Here is a look at the complete Wisconsin football schedule for 2021:
