  • Due to events related to World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association did not schedule any official conference games, recorded no standings, and awarded no title for 1918. Additionally, Missouri canceled their season.

The 1918 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska in the 1918 college football season. The team was coached by first-year head coach William G. Kline and played its home games at Nebraska Field in Lincoln, Nebraska. They competed as members of the Missouri Valley Conference, though the conference did not schedule any official games due to the United States' entry into World War I.[1] Only three NU starters from 1917 returned as many were involved in the war effort; the war also limited cross-country travel, and as a result Nebraska played only six games in the 1918 season.[2]
