## Resource

Iowa’s 2026 football schedule throws them into a fire right out of the gate—with a brutal trio of road and home games against Michigan, Ohio State, and Washington in their first three Big Ten contests. If they can survive and even steal a win or two against these elite programs, they’ll set themselves up for a strong second half, where matchups against Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Purdue become winnable. The key? Peak performance early and capitalize on the easier games later. This is a schedule that tests character—and if Iowa rises to the occasion, they could be playoff contenders.
