Indiana football is less than 100 days away from officially starting a new era under head coach Curt Cignetti, and while the Hoosiers’ full schedule has already been announced, times and networks are starting to become official.
On Thursday, the Hoosiers finalized the details of their first three contests under Cignetti’s leadership.
Indiana will begin its season against Florida International University with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff Aug. 31 in Memorial Stadium. The game will be televised on Big Ten Network.
The week after, the Hoosiers are slated for a Friday night matchup with Western Illinois University. Kickoff in Bloomington is slated for 7 p.m. on Sept. 6, with Big Ten Network once again having the coverage. Indiana has played Friday night games in September each of the past two seasons, first against Illinois in 2022 before taking on Indiana State University last year.
To cap off their first three games of the season, the Hoosiers will make a road trip out west for their first look at UCLA, a new addition to the Big Ten this fall.
Indiana and UCLA will kick off at 7:30 p.m. EST, 4:30 p.m. PST, on Sept. 14 inside Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. The game will be broadcast live on NBC and Peacock.
The final nine games of the Hoosiers’ fall schedule will have times and television information released later.
