The kick times for the Hawkeyes' first four games of the 2026 season have been revealed, highlighted by a primetime clash against Iowa State at Kinnick Stadium.
The 2026 Iowa football season is still a few months away, but one of the first pieces of the season was released Wednesday - kick times.
Four of Iowa's regular season games have game times attached to them. Start making your plans, folks.
Here's the slate:
Week 1 vs. Northern Illinois (9/5): 3:15 p.m. on Big Ten Network
Week 2 vs. Iowa State (9/12): 6:30 p.m. on NBC
Week 3 vs. Northern Iowa (9/19): 3:00 p.m. on FS`1
Week 12 vs. Nebraska (11/27): 11:00 a.m. on CBS
Notes
Iowa's primetime clash against in-state rival Iowa State will be just the third time the Cyclones have visited Kinnick Stadium under the lights (2002, 2016).
The Hawkeyes will be Homecoming visitors at Minnesota (Oct. 24); that time is TBD but will start between 2-7 p.m. Iowa’s Homecoming game against Wisconsin on Oct. 31 will kickoff no later than 4 p.m.
Kickoff times for all other games will be selected during the in-season 12-/6-day selection process, per the media rights agreements between the Big Ten Conference and its television partners.
