The path to a ninth national title comes into focus as Indiana men’s soccer head coach Todd Yeagley announced the program’s complete 2025 season schedule Wednesday.
As has become the norm, the Hoosiers were challenge themselves this season. Eleven of Indiana’s 18 regular season opponents finished top 60 in the 2024 RPI rankings and eight appeared in the NCAA Tournament.
“We are thrilled to welcome back our fans, led by the Hoosier Army, as we embark on a challenging and exciting fall schedule,” Yeagley said in an IU release. “Our home opener versus Clemson will be a blue blood battle, setting the tone for 11 fantastic home matches at Bill Armstrong Stadium this fall. Each Big Ten match will be pivotal as we look to continue our conference championship tradition.
“This team is determined to make 2025 a memorable season.”
Indiana will kick off its season with a five-match homestand at Armstrong Stadium, starting with two storied programs. The season opens against Clemson on August 21, and three days later the Hoosiers host San Francisco – each opponent being a four-time national champion. IU will follow that up with Green Bay on August 28 before hosting two 2024 NCAA Tournament teams in Oregon State (Aug. 31) and 10-time champ Saint Louis (Sept. 3).
Indiana and Notre Dame will meet for the 50th time in the series history September 7, IU’s first road match of the season. The in-state rivalry’s last nine meetings have been decided by one goal, a draw or penalty shootout.
Indiana returns home September 12 to open Big Ten play against Michigan. The Hoosiers will host UCLA (Sept. 26), Ohio State (Oct. 10), Wisconsin (Oct. 21) and Rutgers (Nov. 7) in Big Ten play and travel to Penn State (Sept. 19), Michigan State (Sept. 23), Washington (Oct. 3), Maryland (Oct. 24) and Northwestern (Oct. 31) in the 10-game conference slate. IU captured its second consecutive Big Ten regular season championship – No. 19 overall – last season, sharing the title with Ohio State.
The regular season will conclude with that November 7 home match against Rutgers, the final day of league play around the conference. Between Big Ten matches, the Hoosiers will mix in non-conference contests at Kentucky (Oct. 14) and against Hanover College (Oct. 17).
IU’s slate includes 11 matches on its home pitch, Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Fans can purchase season tickets to see all 11 regular season home matches for $44 ($22 for youth). Indiana boasts a 373-65-53 (.814) record at Armstrong Stadium since the facility opened in 1981.
