Key dates to know
- Season kickoff: Michigan's regular season opens in late August or early September each year, with Michigan Stadium hosting most non-conference and several Big Ten home games.

- Rivalry weekend: Michigan's game against Ohio State, known simply as "The Game," closes out the regular season in late November.
- Postseason: Michigan has been a regular participant in the College Football Playoff since it expanded, with games airing across ABC and the ESPN family.
The Wolverines storyline: a championship program built on tradition
Michigan has won national championships across more than a century of football, most recently capturing the program's first undisputed national title since 1997 with an undefeated 2023 season that ended in a College Football Playoff championship. Michigan Stadium — "The Big House" in Ann Arbor — has drawn crowds of more than 100,000 for every home game since 1975 and remains one of the sport's signature venues. And no rivalry defines the Wolverines' schedule more than the annual clash with Ohio State: simply "The Game," one of the oldest and most storied rivalries in college football, played every year in the season's final weekend.
