Which Indiana Hoosiers games are worth watching in 2026?
Indiana opens its title defense with four straight home games before Big Ten play begins at Rutgers. The Friday night conference opener against Northwestern on FOX gives the Hoosiers an early national showcase, while consecutive October games at Nebraska, home against Ohio State, and at Michigan form one of the toughest stretches on any Big Ten schedule.
The second half of the season features another series of heavyweight matchups. USC visits Bloomington on November 14 in one of the conference's marquee crossover games before Indiana travels to Washington the following week. The regular season concludes with the Old Oaken Bucket rivalry against Purdue, as Curt Cignetti's program looks to defend its conference crown and return to the College Football Playoff.
