Wisconsin football’s nonconference portion of its 2026 schedule comes to a close with another home game.

The Badgers play Eastern Michigan in their third game of the season on Saturday, Sept. 19, at Camp Randall Stadium before beginning Big Ten play next week.

Kickoff is at 11:30 a.m. with the game streaming on Peacock.

Wisconsin enters the game with a 1-1 record. After dropping its opener to national championship contender Notre Dame at Lambeau Field, the Badgers went down a level to defeat FCS foe Western Illinois in their home opener at Camp Randall Stadium.

Eastern Michigan (1-2) of the Mid-American Conference will be playing a Big Ten opponent on the road for a second consecutive game. The Eagles fell to Michigan State, 37-7, last week.

It will be the fifth time Wisconsin and Eastern Michigan will meet and second time in the last six years. The Badgers beat the Eagles, 34-7, in 2021, at Camp Randall.

Wisconsin, which was sparked by running back Abu Sama III‘s 72-yard touchdown run on the first play in last week’s win, is a 23.5 point favorite against Eastern Michigan.

Mark Stewart

How well will Colton Joseph rebound from a spotty performance? That will be one of the tests of this Week 3 matchup. Expect the Badgers to do a better job of finishing drives and the defense to cause some problems with its pass rush. The forecast calls for a strong finish to non-conference play. Wisconsin 38, Eastern Michigan 10

Eastern Michigan is another team that Wisconsin should be able to handily defeat. Of course, that was said about Western Illinois, and the Badgers did not necessarily look flawless after a hot start. If the Badgers see improvement from Colton Joseph and can stay healthy, those would be two big wins ahead of a big Week 4 test against No. 15 Penn State. Wisconsin 34, Eastern Michigan 13
