Back on Oct. 11 Indiana ended Oregon’s 18-game home winning streak, and the dominoes have fallen since to give the Hoosiers yet another hard to imagine distinction.
Missouri and Boise State both saw their own lengthy home winning streaks come to an end in the weeks that followed.
And then on Saturday afternoon, Alabama lost 23-21 to Oklahoma at Bryant-Denny Stadium to snap their own 17-game run on their home turf.
That leaves Indiana’s 15 straight wins at Memorial Stadium as the current longest run of consecutive home wins. IU’s streak aligns with the Curt Cignetti era, as the Hoosiers have gone undefeated at home in both 2024 and 2025.
“I think our crowd — our fans are the best in America,” Cignetti said on Saturday. “I know everybody says that that’s got it going and packs the house, but I love our fans. I know where we started and where we are now, and they are over the top. I can’t say enough good things about them.
“We feed off of their energy. I really think that us playing at home is at least a 14-point advantage.”
IU’s last home loss came on Nov. 18, 2023 to Michigan State. The Spartans were forced by the NCAA to vacate that win, but it still counts as a loss on IU’s ledger.
The current home winning streak is Indiana’s longest all-time.
Indiana is likely to carry the nation’s longest home winning streak into 2026. The Hoosiers played their final regular season home game on Saturday, a 31-7 win over Wisconsin. They’d only play another home game in 2025 if they slide from their current No. 2 College Football Playoff ranking to one of the No. 5-8 seeds. While the Hoosiers like playing at home, they’d rather not play another game at Memorial Stadium this season.
“We don’t know for a fact that it is our last game here at home,” Cignetti said. “We hope it is. It’s kind of weird to say; I get it.”
Indiana has a good chance to run the streak to at least 18. The Hoosiers open the 2026 season with nonconference games against North Texas, Howard and Western Kentucky. The dates for their 2026 Big Ten opponents have not been announced, but Ohio State comes to Bloomington next fall at some point. IU also plays Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue and USC at Memorial Stadium next year.
