The last meeting between the Tar Heels and Hoosiers came in 2022, when No. 10 Indiana beat No. 18 UNC in Bloomington as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Carolina has not defeated the Hoosiers since 2016. Overall, Indiana owns a 10-6 edge in 16 all-time meetings, though October’s matchup will not go on the record as an official game.
This will be the third consecutive season UNC will have played a public preseason scrimmage against a Division 1 opponent. The Tar Heels visited Memphis in 2025 and BYU in 2026 (played in Salt Lake City), winning the first against the Tigers and dropping the second against the Cougars. October’s matchup against Indiana will also give Tar Heel fans their first in-game glimpse of new UNC head coach Michael Malone, who was hired in April.
Tickets for October’s game will open for presale Wednesday at 10 a.m. at this link. Fans who want to access the presale can use the password GOHEELS. The general sale for tickets opens Friday.
