Indiana football enters the 2026 season as defending champions for the first time in program history. The Hoosiers are looking to build on their breakthrough 2025 campaign and capture back-to-back titles.
Head coach Curt Cignetti and his team transformed college football last season. They’ll attempt to repeat without Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who’s no longer with the program.
The defending champions face a challenging schedule that includes matchups against Ohio State, Michigan, and USC.
Season tickets and individual game tickets are now available through multiple platforms. Here’s what fans need to know about pricing and the complete 2026 schedule.
Ticket Pricing and Availability
Individual game tickets range from $75 for North Texas to $425 for Ohio State. Season ticket packages start at $4,200.
Tickets are available through StubHub and other secondary market platforms.
The most expensive games include conference matchups against traditional Big Ten powers. Non-conference games against North Texas and Howard offer the most affordable entry points for fans.
