Colorado's return to Lincoln, Nebraska, will be broadcast on national television.
It was announced Monday that CU's football game at Nebraska on Sept. 7 will kick off at 5:30 p.m. Montana time and be broadcast on NBC. The network announced game times as part of an upfront presentation that introduced advertisers to the network's portfolio of sports, entertainment, news and streaming platforms.
CU begins its second season under head coach Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders on Aug. 29 against North Dakota State at Folsom Field in Boulder. Game times and television assignments for that game have not yet been announced.
The Buffs will visit Nebraska in Week 2 to complete the second set of a home-and-home series between the longtime former Big 8 and Big 12 rivals.
The Buffs are 3-0 against the Cornhuskers since both teams left the Big 12 after the 2010 season. CU won 33-28 in Lincoln in 2018 and 34-31 in overtime in Boulder in 2019. Last year in Boulder, Sanders led the Buffs to a 36-14 victory over the Huskers.
The Buffs have never won four straight against the Huskers. Nebraska leads the series with a 49-21-2 record, including a 26-9 record in Lincoln.
The Buffs, who appeared on network TV five times last year, will be on NBC for the first time since defeating Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2, 1995.
CU has appeared on NBC seven times in its history, four times in the Orange Bowl (1962, 1977, 1990, 1991) and twice in the Fiesta Bowl (1993 and 1995). 2015) is appearing. CU also played the Pigskin Classic against Tennessee on August 26, 1990, which was broadcast on NBC.
