Mini timeline

  1. Now (late March 2026): Football is in the offseason; schedules for fall 2026 are already posted.
  1. Next confirmed football date: Sep 5, 2026 vs Northern Illinois, time TBD.
  1. After that: Iowa hosts Iowa State on Sep 12 and Northern Iowa on Sep 19 as part of its early nonconference slate.

Small multi-view take

  • Football fan view: Circle Sep 5 for the first chance to see the new-look Hawkeyes and get back to game-day at Kinnick.
  • Schedule-watcher view: The opening three games (NIU, Iowa State, UNI) are all winnable on paper and set the tone before the Big Ten grind begins at Michigan on Sep 26.
