Tennessee will no longer play Nebraska in a home-and-home football series that’s been on the books for 19 years because Nebraska is buying out the contract. In the latest version, the teams were scheduled to play at Nebraska in 2026 and at Tennessee in 2027.

Nebraska canceled two nonconference games against Tennessee as part of a plan to recoup lost revenue from reduced seating capacity during major renovations of Memorial Stadium in 2027, athletic director Troy Dannen announced Friday.
