The Big Ten’s first football game of the 2020 season will be in Madison. The Wisconsin Badgers will kick off their campaign against Illinois on Friday night, October 23rd at 7 p.m. on BTN.
The game will be played without any fans at Camp Randall Stadium because COVID-19 numbers continue to rise in the state. Only personnel deemed essential to play a game will be allowed inside the stadium.
UW officials are also asking fans to avoid gathering and to avoid tailgating outside or near the stadium.
UW was off to a 6-0 start last season, including a 3-0 mark in the Big Ten when the Badgers faced Illinois in Champaign. The Illini forced three Wisconsin turnovers, overcoming a 13-point deficit in the second half to upset the Badgers 24-23.
