The top-ranked Badgers will host No. 2 Ohio State on Thursday from LaBahn Arena in Madison, Wisconsin. The two will then play on Saturday from Chicago, Illinois and Wrigley Field, the home of Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs.

Wisconsin’s men’s team will face No. 1 Michigan State the same days and from the same locations. Saturday’s contest will air live on Big Ten Network.
The Badgers are coming off a sweep over Minnesota State, as they closed out the 2024-25 season going 19-1. In the calendar year of 2024, Wisconsin went an incredible 40-3 overall.
Saturday’s outdoor game marks the first time since 2010 they have played outside, as that was a 6-1 win over Bemidji State from Camp Randall Stadium, the home of the Badger football team.
Wisconsin and Ohio State split the first pair of meetings, with the Badgers winning, 4-2, and the Buckeyes posting a 3-2 win for the lone loss to date for Wisconsin.

The matchup, originally scheduled for Oct. 3, 2020, was rescheduled for 2026 after the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the 2020 football season.
The Badgers took on the Fighting Irish at Soldier Field in Chicago in 2021 as part of the Shamrock Series, the neutral-site non-conference series between the two programs. Notre Dame claimed the first game of the series 41-13.

DHS urges Wisconsin ‘sanctuary’ county to keep illegal immigrant accused in elderly sexual assaults jailed
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Homeland Security is urging “sanctuary politicians in Wisconsin” not to release a Nicaraguan national who was arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting an elderly victim, according to a statement Wednesday.
Julio Cesar Morales-Jarquin, 31, is in local police custody after being charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault of an elderly victim, DHS said.
He was arrested last month after a residential care facility in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, reported to police that an employee may have assaulted vulnerable residents, according to local outlet WKOW.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer request on April 27 asking that Morales-Jarquin remain in custody.

DHS on Wednesday called on Dane County officials not to release Morales-Jarquin, accusing the county of being a “sanctuary jurisdiction” that refuses to honor ICE detainers.
The agency said the county has previously given ICE as little as 30 minutes to take custody of individuals in its jail.

According to DHS, Morales-Jarquin entered the United States in 2023 under the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program for Nicaragua. Although the program was later ended, DHS said he remained in the country unlawfully.
“This illegal alien is charged with two counts of sexual assault of an elderly victim at an assisted living facility,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in the DHS statement. “This dirtbag was released into the country by the Biden Administration. DHS is calling on sanctuary politicians in Dane County, Wisconsin to NOT release this criminal from jail back onto the streets to commit more crimes.”

“We need Wisconsin sanctuary politicians to cooperate with us to remove criminals from our country,” she added.

Oshkosh annually becomes a landing pad for around 10,000 aircraft of all shapes and sizes, in what’s considered the world’s biggest fly-in convention. In 2025, EAA had record-breaking attendance, with around 704,000 visitors. This year, the air show will be held July 20-26.

The SCCA National Championship Runoffs will take place Sept. 28-Oct. 4.
