We are officially a day away from Homecoming 2025 in Iowa City!

The University of Iowa has scheduled multiple events for Homecoming week, culminating in the annual Homecoming parade and concert at the Pentacrest on Friday night.

As the Hawkeye squad prepares for a challenging Indiana Hoosiers team, the University released a schedule of events for tomorrow ahead of the big game.

The list of events begins with the parking lots opening at 8:00 a.m. Central Time for early-arriving fans, and ends with "The Swarm" a few minutes before kickoff.

The Iowa Hawkeyes (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) enter Saturday's game on a two-game winning streak following a 47-7 win against Massachusetts on September 13 and a 38-28 victory over Rutgers in New Jersey last Friday Night.

The Hawkeyes welcome the No. 11 Indiana Hoosiers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) to Kinnick Stadium after they destroyed No. 9 Illinois 63-10 last weekend.

The Hoosiers have seen a resurgence under second-year Head Coach Curt Cignetti, who took the program to the College Football Playoff in his first year last season.

The Hawkeyes hold a 46-28-4 record in the series against Indiana, including winning eight of the last nine in the series.
