The Nebraska Cornhuskers men's and women's track and field teams compete as part of NCAA Division I, representing the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the Big Ten Conference. The men's program became Nebraska's first varsity sport in 1889 and a women's team was established in 1976. The programs host indoor meets at the Bob Devaney Sports Center and outdoor meets at an incomplete facility on Nebraska Innovation Campus.
NU's men's team has won thirty-eight indoor and thirty-one outdoor conference championships, producing thirty-six individual national champions; the women have won twenty-four indoor and eighteen outdoor conference championships with thirty-seven national champions. Nebraska's only three team national titles came in the early 1980s in women's indoor competition, led by Jamaican sprinter and nine-time Olympic medalist Merlene Ottey.{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/omaha-world-herald-ottey-leads-nu-to-nat/167625869/|title=Ottey Leads NU to National Title|publisher=Omaha World-Herald|date=14 March 1982|access-date=9 March 2025|via=Newspapers.com|page=54}} Gary Pepin retired in 2022 after four decades as Nebraska's head coach and assistant Justin St. Clair was named his replacement.
Conference affiliations
- Independent (1889–1907)

The MVIAA became commonly known as the Big Six, and later the Big Seven and Big Eight. Its name was officially changed to the Big Eight in 1964.{{cite web|url=https://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-football-history-big-12-realignment|title=The History of Big 12 Realignment|author=Braden Gall|publisher=Athlon Sports|date=29 June 2012|access-date=13 February 2025}}}}

Venues
Nebraska has hosted indoor meets at the Bob Devaney Sports Center (originally the NU Sports Complex) since its construction in 1976. The facility, renovated in 2000 and 2011, can host 5,000 spectators. The arena has hosted several indoor conference championships.
For decades, Nebraska hosted outdoor meets at Ed Weir Stadium, located just northeast of Memorial Stadium. It was demolished in 2019 to make room for the Osborne Legacy Complex. The program moved to an unnamed, incomplete facility on Nebraska Innovation Campus, though it has not hosted any meets as permanent seating has yet to be installed. The $16.5-million, 2,000-seat complex is scheduled to be completed in late 2025, in time for NU to host the 2026 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Conference Championships.{{cite web|url=https://nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news-articles/nebraska-cornhusker-track-and-field-facility-being-renovated/|title=Nebraska Cornhusker track and field facility being renovated|author=Aaron Bonderson|website=Nebraska Public Media|date=7 January 2025|access-date=29 March 2025}}
