24 Hawkeyes to Watch 2018-19 | Single Game Football Tickets | I-Club Events Page | 2018 Football Fall Camp Central
IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa football team will resume its day-after-Thanksgiving meeting with Nebraska beginning in 2022, as the Big Ten Conference announced the entire slate of Big Ten football schedules for 2022-25 on Wednesday.
The Hawkeyes will close each of those seasons against the Cornhuskers in the Hy-Vee Heroes Game series, beginning Friday, Nov. 25, 2022, in Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes have closed each season since 2011 against Nebraska on the Friday after Thanksgiving, but will meet Wisconsin on the final weekend of the regular season in 2020 (home) and 2021 (away).
“We are excited to resume the tradition of the Hy-Vee Heroes Game with Nebraska to close our regular season,” said Gary Barta, Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair. “The Friday game has been well-received on both campuses and the annual recognition of heroes from each state has been a popular program.”
The Hawkeyes will play four conference home games in 2022 and 2024, with five Big Ten contests in Kinnick in 2023 and 2025. Along with its West Division foes, Iowa in 2022 will play Michigan at home and travel to Ohio State and Rutgers. Along with Michigan, Iowa will also host Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Nebraska.
In 2023, Iowa hosts Purdue, Rutgers, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Illinois, while traveling to Wisconsin, Northwestern, Penn State, and Nebraska.
Iowa in 2024 hosts Northwestern, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, while visiting Purdue, Rutgers, Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota. The 2025 slate includes home games with Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota, Purdue, and Rutgers, and road trips to Wisconsin, Northwestern, Michigan, and Nebraska.
In addition to the Big Ten schedules, Iowa has agreed to host future nonconference games with Kent State (Sept. 18, 2021), South Dakota State (Sept. 17, 2022), Illinois State (Aug. 31, 2024), and Northern Illinois (Sept. 13, 2025).
