Kick times for the Hoosiers’ first three games have been announced.
Kickoff times for the first three weeks of the Big Ten football season are now available, including Curt Cignetti’s head coaching debut at Indiana and a conference opener on the road against UCLA, per an official release.
The Hoosiers will open the 2024 season at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 21, against FIU at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. It’s the fourth meeting between the two programs and first since an road victory in 2018.
They’ll follow that up with a matchup against Western Illinois at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 6. Indiana was previously slated to play Louisville in a multi-year series that the program opted out of last year. Friday matchups have caused some friction with coaches, who prefer to use that time on high school scouting and recruiting.
Finally, Indiana will open Big Ten play on the road against UCLA at 7:30 p.m. ET on September 14 in Pasadena, California. It’ll be the first-ever meeting between the two programs and the Hoosiers’ first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1968.
