Panthers Map Out FBS Future Through 2031
The University of Northern Iowa’s football program has unveiled a comprehensive slate of non‑conference games that will carry the Panthers through the 2031 season, featuring a string of contests against some of the nation’s most prominent FBS programs.
Among the highlighted matchups, the September 19, 2026 game against the Iowa Hawkeyes stands out as the first opportunity for fans to purchase single‑game tickets, with prices set at $125 and sales opening through the UNI ticket office.
Tickets are being released on a first‑come, first‑served basis, and the university urges supporters to act quickly given the strong demand; seat assignments will be determined by each fan’s Panther Priority Points, and inquiries can be directed to the ticket office at 319‑273‑4849 or via email at tickets@uni.edu.
The broader schedule includes future meetings with Iowa State, Nebraska, Wisconsin and other power‑conference opponents, with notable road trips slated for 2027 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, 2029 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, and 2030 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, while a rematch with Iowa State is penciled in for 2031.
