Big Ten Football Friday Night Schedule (2020)

| Posted on |

For the longest time, the Big Ten exclusively played games on Saturday. That changed in 2017 after inking a new TV deal, despite certain teams refusing the change. It’s been a thing ever since and, even though they’re getting a late start in 2020, it’s back for the 2020 season — including a Friday night game to start the year between Illinois and Wisconsin. Minnesota must love the spotlight because you’ll see they’re one-half of most Friday matchups.
