Big Ten Announces 2026‑27 Men’s Basketball Schedule, Indiana to Host Traditional Rivals

Conference releases early slate, highlighting home matchups and road trips for the Hoosiers

The Big Ten Conference has released its slate for the 2026‑27 men’s basketball season, outlining which teams will meet where and when.

Indiana University’s Hoosiers are set to enjoy a home‑court advantage against three of the conference’s traditional powerhouses — Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State — while the rest of the league will travel to face them in Bloomington.

The schedule also confirms that the Hoosiers will hit the road for contests in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Penn State and the Pacific Northwest, rounding out a demanding non‑conference slate.

In addition, Indiana will host two games apiece against Maryland, Northwestern and Purdue, ensuring a balanced mix of familiar foes and new challenges throughout the campaign.

Key Matchups to Watch

Fans can look forward to several marquee moments, especially the first meeting of Darian DeVries in his second year as head coach, who will guide the team through a demanding road stretch.

While the full calendar, complete with dates and broadcast details, is typically finalized in September, the early outline already provides a clear picture of the competitive landscape awaiting the Hoosiers.

The upcoming season promises intense rivalry games and strategic battles, as Indiana balances home dominance with challenging away trips across the Midwest and beyond.
