Indiana Football Making History in 2026
The Indiana Hoosiers have done something this season that hasn't been seen since the 1960s.
Indiana football is making history in 2026 after the Indiana Hoosiers sold out all of their 2026 home games for the first time in over 50 years. According to Jared Kelly of Peegs.com, the 247 Sports site, season tickets and single-game tickets for the upcoming season are sold out. This marks a dramatic shift from the past, as Indiana hadn't recorded a home sellout since at least 1969.
Under head coach Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers have recorded eight home sellouts, bringing the total to 16, including 12 straight in three seasons. From 2000 until Cignetti's arrival, Indiana only managed to sell out eight games throughout. The Hoosiers' success can be attributed to both their own fanbase and the allure of playing against tough opponents.
While the 2026 season begins with relatively easy matchups against North Texas, Howard, and Western Kentucky, the Hoosiers will face significant challenges later in the schedule, including two high-profile games against Ohio State and USC. However, home games are set to remain a standout experience, with a passionate crowd expected to fill the stadium for every home game.
