The Nebraska Cornhuskers and Northwestern Wildcats will meet in a Big 10 West division matchup to open the 2022 football season on August 27, 2022 in Dublin, Ireland.
The game is part of the “Aer Lingus College Football Classic”, joining the 2012 Notre Dame-Navy matchup and the 2016 Georgia Tech win over Boston College in 2016 as college football games being played on Irish soil.
Aviva Stadium in Dublin will host the game, with Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald saying, “We are thrilled that our program will get to experience the beautiful Irish culture, while we continue to help grow the game of college football on a global stage!”Â
