Which Iowa Hawkeyes games are worth watching in 2026?
The 2026 non-conference slate features the always-fierce Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series rivalry game at Kinnick Stadium against the Iowa State Cyclones on September 12. September also includes a visit from Northern Illinois to open the season and a regional matchup against Northern Iowa.
Big Ten play presents massive challenges, highlighted by a home clash against powerhouse Ohio State on October 3 and a Friday night road trip to Seattle to take on Washington on October 9. Traditional trophy games down the stretch—including traveling to Minnesota for the Floyd of Rosedale, hosting Wisconsin for the Heartland Trophy, and closing out the regular season on Black Friday against Nebraska—will heavily define the Hawkeyes' postseason outlook.
