Senior Day is set for an 11 a.m. Nebraska kickoff.

Iowa’s regular-season home finale is scheduled for Friday, November 27, against Nebraska at Kinnick Stadium. The official listing gives an 11 a.m. Central Standard Time kickoff and identifies the date as the Pioneer Heroes Game and Senior Day. Unlike Minnesota’s provisional window or Wisconsin’s TBA listing, this is a published fixed kickoff.

The Friday date changes the usual Saturday routine. It also comes after Iowa’s November 21 road game at Illinois. Before those two dates, the remaining schedule includes Minnesota away, Wisconsin at home, Northwestern away and Purdue at home. The Nebraska fixture closes that six-game stretch; it is not the Hawkeyes’ next game.

The staged Nebraska team card asks ten calls about that specific matchup: the winner and margin, each side’s scoring, the combined total and whether the teams finish within fourteen points. Its proposed lock is 10:55 a.m. CST, five minutes before the currently verified kickoff. The start and deadline must still be rechecked before the card opens.

The date provides a useful anchor for a season calendar, but it does not establish the lineup or predict a result. Senior Day coverage and player availability will develop closer to November 27. For now, the confirmed items are opponent, venue, date and kickoff, with the official schedule as the place to check any changes.
