Indiana men’s soccer has announced the program’s 2026 season schedule.
IU’s slate includes 12 home matches at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Indiana boasts a 382-67-54 (.813) record at Armstrong Stadium since the facility opened in 1981.
Nine of Indiana’s 18 regular season opponents finished top 60 in the 2025 RPI rankings, and seven appeared in last year’s NCAA Tournament.
“Indiana Soccer has always been built on tradition, excellence and the unwavering support from Hoosier Army,” coach Todd Yeagley said in a release. “We are grateful for the impact that our fans have on our program and look forward to an exciting season together at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Let’s pack The Bill this fall as we pursue more championships.”
Indiana kicks off the 2026 season hosting five of its first six matches. The Hoosiers open the campaign at home August 20 against in-state foe Notre Dame, a matchup that’s been decided by one goal or draw in each of the last 10 meetings. It begins a three-match, in-state homestand at Armstrong Stadium with Evansville (Aug. 23) and Butler (Aug. 27) visiting Bloomington for game Nos. 2 and 3. IU will make a quick road trip down to Louisville (Aug. 31), before hosting Cal Poly (Sept. 4) and Denver (Sept. 7) in the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic.
Indiana will travel to play Michigan (Sept. 11) for their Big Ten Conference opener. A week later, IU will welcome reigning NCAA Champion Washington (Sept. 18) in its Big Ten home opener. In conference play, the Hoosiers host the Huskies as well as Penn State (Sept. 25), Maryland (Oct. 2), Northwestern (Oct. 23) and Michigan State (Nov. 4) – the regular season finale.
IU has Big Ten away days at Michigan, Wisconsin (Oct. 22), Rutgers (Oct. 16), Ohio State (Oct. 20) and UCLA (Oct. 30).
In the middle of Big Ten play, Indiana will host the annual meeting with Kentucky on October 6. The matchup marks the third game of a crucial four-match homestand featuring Penn State, Maryland, Kentucky and Hanover College.
Hoosier Army will get its first chances to see the 2026 squad in two home exhibitions. IU will host Bowling Green (Aug. 10) and Loyola Chicago (Aug. 15) in a pair of preseason scrimmages.
Fans can purchase season tickets to see all 12 regular season home matches for $48 ($24 for youth).
