The Indiana Hoosiers football program will travel to Iowa to play the Hawkeyes in two weeks. The game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 27 at Kinnick Stadium for Iowa's homecoming.

Indiana's visit to Iowa will be live-streamed on Peacock, giving fans no choice to watch on cable or with regular TV packages.

The Iowa Hawkeyes enters Big Ten Conference play 2-1 overall, with their only loss coming to in-state rival Iowa State. Before Iowa takes on the Hoosiers, the Hawkeyes go on the road to face the Rutgers Scarlett Knights. That game will be played on a Friday (Sept. 19), meaning Iowa will have an extra days rest before the matchup with Indiana.

The No. 19 Indiana Hoosiers are taking on No. 9 Illinois this weekend before traveling over to Iowa City.

Led by second year head coach Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers have started this 2025 season off on a hot streak, winning their first three games. They capped off their non-conference schedule by destroying in-state rival Indiana State 73-0. The Hoosiers totaled 680 yards on offense, scored 10 touchdowns while only giving up 77 yards on defense last, Friday.

Junior quarterback Fernando Mendoza has thrown for 708 yards, 9 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, a 78.0 completion percentage and a QBR of 189.7.

The last time these two programs met was the 2021 season opener. The Hawkeyes comfortably handled the Hoosiers 34-6 as Riley Moss intercepted Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. twice in the first half and returned both for touchdowns.

Overall, the series between Iowa and Indiana sits at 46-38-4 with Iowa leading, with the Hawkeyes also having won 11 of the last 14 meetings.
