MADISON, Wis. – The Big Ten Conference unveiled the 2024-2028 Big Ten football opponents on Thursday morning, setting the slate for the next five seasons of conference action. With the league expanding to 18 teams and eliminating divisions beginning with the 2024 season, Wisconsin will take on new Big Ten foes across the nation over the next five seasons. 

UW will take on two incoming programs in 2024, hosting the Oregon Ducks and traveling to USC to take on the Trojans. The Badgers welcome Washington to Madison in 2025 and visit UCLA on the West Coast in 2026.

In each of the next five seasons, Wisconsin will match up with both Iowa and Minnesota, the Badgers’ two protected rivals. The Battle for the Axe between Wisconsin and Minnesota is college football’s most-played rivalry. The schools have squared off 132 times. Meanwhile, the Badgers will continue to fight for the Heartland Trophy with the Hawkeyes. Wisconsin and Iowa have met on 96 occasions.

“Camp Randall Stadium is going to host some of college football’s great brand names over the next five years and all of us here at UW Athletics could not be more excited. Wisconsin is in the right place at the right time. We are here to compete for championships against the best that college football has to offer.”

The Badgers will travel to the Los Angeles area in 2024 to take on the Trojans in the eighth all-time meeting between the schools. Despite USC holding a 6-1 all-time edge in the series, the Badgers won the last meeting: The 2015 Holiday Bowl. Wisconsin will host USC in 2026.

UW will welcome Oregon to Camp Randall Stadium in 2024 for the schools’ first regular season matchup since 2001. Wisconsin met the Fighting Ducks in the Rose Bowl in 2012 and 2019 and has won both matchups in Madison (1978 and 2000). The Badgers will head to Eugene, Ore. in 2025.

WASHINGTON

Wisconsin is slated to host the Washington Huskies in 2025, marking the programs’ first meeting since 1992.

Washington last traveled to Madison in 1968. The Badgers will visit the Huskies in 2028.

UCLA

The Badgers will take on UCLA in 2026, heading west to visit the Bruins at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. Wisconsin has won three straight in the all-time series, claiming three consecutive bowl wins over UCLA (1993 – Rose, 1999 – Rose, 2000 – Sun). The Badgers will play their first true road game against the Bruins since 1980. UCLA will visit Madison in 2027.
