Earlier this week, we asked fans what they’d consider an acceptable number of losses for the Michigan Wolverines in 2026. And now the results are in.

47% of fans voted that three losses are acceptable. Michigan has its work cut out for them this season, as they have a particularly hard schedule. Michigan’s coaching staff is much improved under new head coach Kyle Whittingham, but how much of a turnaround can 2026 be for Michigan? It’s a tall task for Whittingham and staff to clean up Sherrone Moore’s mess in a swift manner. Even so, expectations are high for Michigan with quarterback Bryce Underwood entering his second season as QB1.

Here’s a look at Michigan’s schedule in 2026.

  • Western Michigan (Sept. 5)
  • Oklahoma (Sept. 12)
  • UTEP (Sept. 19)
  • Iowa (Sept. 26)
  • @ Minnesota (Oct. 3)
  • Penn State (Oct. 17)
  • Indiana (Oct. 24)
  • @ Rutgers (Oct. 31)
  • Michigan State (Nov. 7)
  • @ Oregon (Nov. 14)
  • UCLA (Nov. 21)
  • @ Ohio State (Nov. 28)

Per FanDuel Sportsbook, Michigan currently has the fifth-highest odds of winning the Big Ten Championship at +1500.
