Indiana 2025 Football Schedule: Dates, Location, TV Information, Results in Real Time

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Fresh off their first College Football Playoff appearance and a school-record 11 wins, there's plenty of excitement surrounding Indiana's 2025 football season. There are high hopes for another great year for the Hoosiers.

It won't be easy. The Hoosiers' nine-game Big Ten schedule includes road trips to Iowa, Oregon and Penn State, all very hostile environments. Indiana has seven home games, and concludes the regular season with the annual Old Oaken Bucket game vs. in-state rival Purdue.

Indiana finished 11-2 a year ago, losing only No. 2 Ohio State and No. 7 Notre Dame. Those two teams played in the national championship game, with Ohio State winning. The Hoosiers were 8-1 in the Big Ten, finishing tied for second with Penn State.
