Michigan football to play Washington in primetime on Sept. 11; game will be on ABC

There will be plenty of people watching when Michigan football plays Washington this season.

The program announced Tuesday morning that the Wolverines' matchup against the Huskies at Michigan Stadium on Sept. 11 will be broadcast by ABC at 7:30 p.m.

It is the second kickoff time to be announced; on Friday, Fox announced that Michigan and Ohio State will play at noon on Nov. 2727.

U-M and Washington were supposed to play the first game of their home-and-home series in 2020 at Washington, but the game was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic that saw the Big Ten and Pac-12 play conference-only schedules.
