2026 Football Season Ticket Renewals Available Online

Hawkeye football enthusiasts have an exciting opportunity to renew their season tickets for the 2026 football season at Kinnick Stadium. The University of Iowa has officially opened the renewal period, allowing current season ticket holders to secure their seats well in advance. Fans must complete their renewals by March 31, 2026, ensuring their place at one of college football’s most electrifying venues. This early renewal window is especially important given the consistent sellout streak of every home game for the past four years. The 2026 season promises an action-packed schedule featuring several marquee matchups. The Hawkeyes will kick off the season at home against Northern Illinois on September 5, followed by two intense in-state rivalries. On September 12, Iowa will face Iowa State in the highly anticipated Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk rivalry, and a week later, on September 19, they will take on Northern Iowa. These games highlight the regional pride and competitive spirit that define Hawkeye football. Conference play will bring additional excitement as Iowa hosts national powerhouse Ohio State, along with border rivals Nebraska and Wisconsin. The schedule also includes a clash with the Purdue Boilermakers. This lineup of opponents underscores the competitive challenges and high stakes the team will face throughout the season. Season ticket prices for the 2026 season offer excellent value for loyal fans. Public prices range from $395 to $475, varying by seat location, while University of Iowa faculty and staff enjoy a discounted rate between $375 and $455. Joe Parker, Deputy Director of Athletics and COO, emphasized that season ticket holders are central to the renowned game day atmosphere at Kinnick Stadium. He noted that renewing season tickets offers nearly a 50% savings compared to purchasing individual game tickets, reinforcing the cost-effectiveness of this option. For fans interested in joining the Hawkeye faithful for the first time, new season tickets are available by phone or online at hawkeyesports.com/tickets. Additional ticketing options, including single-game tickets, mini-packs, group packages, and away game tickets, will be announced in early 2026. The renewal process has been streamlined to improve convenience, combining I-Club contributions with ticket renewals in one transaction. Required seat and parking contributions will be clearly itemized on renewal statements. Flexible payment plans are also available to accommodate different financial needs. For more information, fans can visit hawkeyesports.com, call 1-800-IA-HAWKS, or email tickets@hawkeyesports.com. Early action is encouraged to avoid missing out on the chance to be part of the vibrant tradition and unmatched energy that defines game day at Kinnick Stadium.
