Nebraska-Cincinnati Officially Moving to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City
Nebraska football’s 2025 season opener just got a little closer.
The Huskers were originally slated to take on Cincinnati at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. That game has now been moved more than 400 miles closer to Kansas City.
Nebraska and Cincinnati will open 2025 at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, Aug. 28. The kickoff time and television network will be determined during the Big 12’s television selection process in the spring.
Nebraska Director of Athletics Troy Dannen said the move of the game to Kansas City is a perfect fit for the Huskers’ season opener.
“We are pleased to partner with the University of Cincinnati and the Kansas City Chiefs to bring our 2025 season-opening matchup to Arrowhead Stadium,” Dannen said. “Since arriving at Nebraska, one constant message I have heard from our fans is they miss having road football games that are within driving distance. This game offers an excellent opportunity for our great fan base to make a short trip to watch the Huskers open the season and enjoy Labor Day weekend in Kansas City.”
Tickets for the Nebraska-Cincinnati contest will go on sale this week. All tickets will be sold online at www.chiefs.com/tickets/ and www.ticketmaster.com. No tickets will be sold through the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office.
Nebraska and Cincinnati season ticket holders will receive the first opportunity to buy tickets, beginning Tuesday at 9 a.m. CST. A public on-sale for tickets will begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. CST.
Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, hosted several college games in 2024. The Kansas Jayhawks, who are continuing construction in Lawrence on the football stadium and surrounding area, played multiple “home” games in Kansas City.
The Huskers have played at Arrowhead twice, beating Oklahoma State during the 1998 regular season and losing to Oklahoma in the 2006 Big 12 championship game.
One other change in the scheduled matchups between Nebraska and Cincinnati involves the future game at Memorial Stadium. The teams will now meet in Lincoln on Sept. 10, 2033, after previously being scheduled to play during the 2032 season.

The NCAA women’s volleyball final four will feature all four No. 1 seeds, as Nebraska and Penn State won their regional finals Sunday, joining Pitt and Louisville, who advanced Saturday.
The national semifinals are Thursday in Louisville, with the hometown Cardinals facing the Panthers at 6:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Huskers vs. the Nittany Lions. Both matches are on ESPN. The national championship match will be Sunday, Dec. 22, at 3 p.m. ET on ABC.
Both semifinals match up conference foes. ACC rivals Louisville and Pitt are each seeking their first national championship in volleyball. It’s very different on the other side of the bracket: Big Ten rivals Penn State (seven) and Nebraska (five) have 12 NCAA titles and nine runner-up finishes between them.
During the regular season, No. 1 overall seed Pitt beat Louisville in their two matchups, and Penn State beat Nebraska in their meeting.
The Huskers, now in their 18th NCAA final four, advanced easily Sunday, sweeping Wisconsin 26-24, 25-17, 25-21. Taylor Landfair, a senior playing her first season at Nebraska after transferring from Minnesota, led the Huskers with 11 kills. Nebraska also swept the Badgers in both Big Ten regular-season meetings this year.
Penn State is making its 14th NCAA final four but had a tougher go of it Sunday. The Nittany Lions were pushed to five sets by No. 2 seed Creighton, which was trying to make its first final four and set up an all-Nebraska-school semifinal. But the Nittany Lions, with the advantage of playing the regional on their home court like the other No. 1 seeds, took the fifth set 15-7. Jess Mruzik led Penn State with 20 kills.
No woman head coach has ever won the NCAA Division I volleyball championship, which was first contested in 1981. But there is a chance it could happen this year, as two women — Louisville’s Dani Busboom Kelly and Penn State’s Katie Schumacher-Cawley — are in the final four.
The only coach in the final four who has previously won a title is Nebraska’s John Cook, who has four of the Huskers’ titles. All of Penn State’s championships came under Russ Rose, who retired after the 2021 season.
