The Michigan Wolverines’ spring game is an annual tradition designed to give fans a glimpse of what to expect on the football field heading into fall.
Michigan’s 2025 spring game is scheduled for April 19, 2025, giving fans a chance to see the Wolverines in action prior to the regular season at Michigan Stadium, also known as the Big House, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
On Wednesday, the latest change to the spring game was revealed, which is believed to have been inspired by the record number of players being added via the transfer portal in college football since the dawn of the NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) payments era.

“Michigan says its April 19 spring football game will be televised on Big Ten Network but won’t air until roughly a week later — after the spring transfer portal window closes,” Mlive.com reporter Aaron McMann said in an X post.

“The game remains open to the public and free to attend.”
Coach Sherrone Moore’s team expects to break in several new starters this season including at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, defensive tackle and other key positions.
The Wolverines went 8-5 last season and open the season against New Mexico on Aug. 30 in Ann Arbor.
