The reigning national champs are a big attraction.
All signs point to all eight IU football home games being sold out in 2026.
This would mark the first time since 1969 the school completely sold out a football season.
Indiana Athletics has cycled through sales of 2026 season tickets, mini-season packages and individual game sales — and no seats remain on the official website. Fan can still purchase tickets on the secondary market.
Selling out the 2026 season was a more significant endeavor this year compared to 1969. IU only played five home games in 1969, and they were all against power conference opponents. Indiana listed total stadium capacity at 48,344 in 1969 and 52,656 today, although overflow crowds of more than 56,000 have packed into the facility then and now.
The most fans to ever attend a single game at Memorial Stadium was 56,223 in 1969, followed by 56,088 when IU hosted Illinois last year.
Indiana sold out four games each in 2024 and 2025, marking eight of the 18 sellouts at Memorial Stadium since the stadium expanded in 1970.
The eight-game season sellout means IU should break its single-year attendance record of 386,992 set in 2024. The 1969 season still holds the record for average game attendance, at 53,319.
IU currently owns a 15-game home winning streak, the longest in the nation.
