If you were asking about football in general for 2026 , here’s the opening stretch of their regular-season schedule.

Because “when does Iowa State play” could also mean basketball , you may want to confirm the sport; their 2025–26 men’s basketball schedule is listed separately and includes regular-season dates and TV info.

If you tell me the sport and whether you mean “next game from today” or full season,” I can narrow it down further using that schedule information.
