BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football fans not making the trip out to Memorial Stadium on Thursday night will be able to catch the program’s annual spring game on Big Ten Network.
The broadcast goes live at 8 p.m. as part of a full night of IU-related programming. The lead-in for the scrimmage will be two of the Hoosiers’ memorable games from the 2025 season — a 30-20 win at Oregon and a victory of over Ohio State in the Big Ten title game.
Indiana’s spring game didn’t air on television last year, but winning a national title has put the program in the spotlight like never before.

What’s the format of IU football’s spring game
Indiana football is using an identical scoring format as it used last year that allows both the offense and defense to earn points. The Hoosiers haven’t released details of how long the game will be, but last year they played two quarters with a running clock in the second quarter.
