Iowa will get home-and-home games with Nebraska, Ohio State and Wisconsin as part of the 2026-27 Big Ten men’s basketball schedule, the conference announced on Tuesday.
The Hawkeyes are coming off a 24-13 season that included a run to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament.
The Hawkeyes split with Nebraska during the regular season last season, then beat the Huskers in the NCAA Tournament regional semifinals to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 1987. Iowa defeated Ohio State in their lone regular-season matchup, then lost to the Buckeyes in the third round of the Big Ten Tournament. The Hawkeyes lost at Wisconsin in their lone regular-season game.
Iowa’s single-plays at home are Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan State, Oregon, Penn State, and Washington.
A trip to USC and UCLA will be part of the road single-plays. Iowa will also have road single-plays against Illinois, Michigan, Northwestern, Purdue and Rutgers.
Dates, game times and TV networks will be announced later this summer.
