Wisconsin football announces the date and time of their season opener against Illinois

The Badgers will meet Illinois under the lights at Camp Randall

After months of speculation, anticipation, and confusion, we are now less than two weeks away from Wisconsin football beginning their season against Illinois at Camp Randall. Today, the Big Ten announced that the Badgers would open the season on Friday, October 23 with a night game at the Camp.

Wisconsin and Illinois are scheduled for a 7 P.M. CT kickoff, with limited family of the team allowed to be in attendance. The game will be on Big Ten Network, and be the first Big Ten game of the 2020 season.

We are now just 11 days away from Wisconsin football and a chance for the Badgers to get some much needed redemption against Illinois.
