2021 Michigan Football Schedule

Michigan's 2021 schedule was rearranged when the MSU/Indiana home/road switchback was made in 2020. The change was originally made in 2014, giving MSU two home games in a row. This had the intended effect of damaging Dave Brandon but also ruined the balance of Michigan's, Michigan State's, and Indiana's schedules (OSU and Michigan would be visiting the same years). The Big Ten used the 2020 season to rectify this, so MSU will now be opposite Ohio State on Michigan's schedule going forward.

2022 notes: The MSU, IU, and Nebraska games are likely to be moved around to break up the homestands now that IU/MSU have flipped back on their home/road years. Michigan's planned home and home with UCLA was canceled. They would have had a home game in 2022 and visited in 2023.
