BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana football is in the midst of its first season under coach Curt Cignetti.

A notable change for the 2024 season is that USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington have left the Pac-12 to join the Big Ten. As a result, the Big Ten no longer has East and West divisions.

As those schools transition into the conference, Indiana will play UCLA and Washington in 2024, then UCLA and Oregon in 2025. The Hoosiers won't play USC until the 2026 season. Conference expansion also comes with an additional bye week for Big Ten teams.

Here's the 2024 Indiana football schedule, with some game time and TV information to be released at a later date.
