Indiana Hoosiers prepare for 2026-27 athletic season

The Indiana Hoosiers athletic programs are preparing for the 2026-27 season across football and basketball.

In football, the Hoosiers enter the season as defending national champions following a 16-0 season. The roster features quarterback Josh Hoover, who brings over 9,000 career passing yards, and a highly-ranked transfer class. Sports betting analysts have set the regular-season win total at 10.5, noting the challenge of replacing key NFL departures and facing difficult matchups against teams like Ohio State and Michigan.

In basketball, guard Darren Harris has completed a summer of competition following his transfer from Duke. Harris participated in an exhibition game at Assembly Hall and competed in the FISU America Games in Lima, Peru. During the FISU games, Harris averaged 8.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game.
