The highly anticipated 2025 IU football season begins in just over three months, and significant aspects of the schedule were revealed on on Thursday afternoon.
Indiana will open the 2025 season at 2:30 p.m. ET Saturday Aug. 30 in Bloomington.
They’ll conclude the regular season on a Friday evening at Purdue. That will be the second straight year the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket will be played in the evening, and it will be the second Friday game of the season for IU.
The Hoosiers also face Indiana State in week three on a Friday. That will give IU an extra day to prepare for their week four showdown with Illinois.
Indiana’s homecoming game is Oct. 18 vs. Michigan State, and they’ll travel for two opposing homecoming weekends — at Iowa and at Maryland.
Below is what the Big Ten has revealed so far. As is customary for the league, additional kick time and television decisions will be made during the season, typically two weeks before each game not already announced today.
