The 2026 Indiana Hoosiers football team, guided by third-year head coach Curt Cignetti, represents Indiana University Bloomington in the Big Ten Conference and plays its home games at Memorial Stadium. The offseason was marked by record-breaking NFL interest, as a program-record eight Hoosiers were selected in the 2026 NFL Draft and nine players were invited to the NFL Combine, highlighted by cornerback D'Angelo Ponds' 43.5-inch vertical jump (second among all participants and fourth all-time for his position). The team hosted an extensive Pro Day on April 1 at John Mellencamp Pavilion with all 32 NFL teams in attendance, and wrapped up spring practices with a game on April 23 that drew roughly 21,000 fans, where quarterback Josh Hoover led the first-team offense. The competitive 2026 regular season features formidable Big Ten opponents including Ohio State, Michigan, and USC, alongside road trips to Rutgers, Nebraska, and Washington. Representatives Carter Smith, Tyrique Tucker, and Isaiah Jones also attended the Big Ten Media Days in Chicago on July 30, setting the stage for a highly anticipated campaign.
