IOWA CITY, Iowa – Hawkeye fans, it’s time to lock in your seats for another unforgettable season at Kinnick Stadium. University of Iowa football season ticket holders can now renew for the 2026 season, with a renewal deadline of March 31, 2026. Every home game has sold out the past four years.
The 2026 home schedule is packed with marquee matchups. The Hawkeyes, who posted a nine-win season and won the ReliaQuest Bowl in 2025, open the season against Northern Illinois (Sept. 5), followed by two in-state showdowns: the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk rivalry vs. Iowa State (Sept. 12) and a battle with Northern Iowa (Sept. 19). Big Ten play brings national powerhouse Ohio State, border rivals Nebraska and Wisconsin, along with the Purdue Boilermakers.
Season ticket renewals remain the best value for Hawkeye fans, with prices ranging from $395–$475 for the public and $375–$455 for UI faculty/staff, depending on seat location.
“Our season ticketholders are the primary reason Iowa gamedays are recognized as the best in college football. Season ticket prices are designed to create value for our loyal Hawkeye fans - nearly a 50% savings over anticipated single-game costs,” said Joe Parker, Deputy Director of Athletics and COO. “The energy of Kinnick Stadium is contagious for our team, and we appreciate our fans crafting this unmatched atmosphere.”
Fans looking to join the excitement with new season tickets can call 1-800-424-2957 (option 2) or visit hawkeyesports.com/tickets. Details on single-game tickets, mini-packs, group options, and away games will be announced in early 2026.
Contributors and ticket holders will enjoy a streamlined process again this year, with I-Club contributions and season ticket renewals combined into a single transaction. Required seat and parking contributions will appear on renewal statements, and flexible payment plans are available.
