Indiana Hoosiers Kick Off Preseason with New Roster and Home Opener

Thirteen newcomers, including seven top transfers, aim to build on a No. 22 ranking as the team prepares for its first match against Notre Dame.

Preseason kickoff

Indiana University’s men’s soccer program opened its preseason on August 4, 2026, ushering in a wave of thirteen new players, seven of whom arrived from the nation’s top transfer class.

Veteran coach Todd Yeagley, now in his seventeenth year, said the immediate priority is to blend those additions with the returning core and sharpen the team’s tactics before the first official match.

Ranked and ready

The Hoosiers enter the campaign ranked No. 22 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll, giving them a solid foundation as they prepare to host a three‑game homestand that will begin with a showdown against Notre Dame on August 20.

Exhibition schedule

Two preseason exhibitions are set for August 10 against Bowling Green and August 15 versus Loyola Chicago, both of which will be open to the public at no charge.
