Iowa football season opener vs. Northern Illinois joins sellouts
As the 2026 Iowa football season approaches, the Hawkeyes' season opener against Northern Illinois at Kinnick Stadium has officially sold out.
Iowa football's season opener against Northern Illinois at Kinnick Stadium is an official sellout, joining four other home contests that have already sold out for the 2026 season. These include games against Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Ohio State, and the Hawkeyes' final four home matches against Wisconsin, Purdue, and Nebraska. Tickets for the Oct.
31 game versus Wisconsin, Nov. 14 against Purdue, and Nov. 27 against Nebraska may sell quickly due to the growing anticipation surrounding head coach Kirk Ferentz's team. The Sept. 5 matchup against Northern Illinois is set to kick off at 3:15 p.m. CT and will be televised on the Big Ten Network. Iowa has maintained a streak of selling out 28 consecutive games at Kinnick Stadium, beginning with the 2022 season.
