The Big Ten released each school’s 2026-27 men’s basketball home, away and home-and-away conference opponents, locking in the matchup matrix for all 18 teams.
Each program will face seven opponents at home, seven on the road and three twice, with game dates, tip times and TV assignments still to be announced.
Indiana’s slate includes home games against Illinois, Michigan State, Ohio State, UCLA and USC, road trips to Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin, and double-plays with Maryland, Northwestern and Purdue.
The announcement gives schools and fans the league framework for the season while leaving the full schedule rollout for a later date.
