Iowa football is gearing up to begin the 2022 college football season. With just about a week to go to the season opener, the program also announced a game has been added to a future schedule.
Friday morning, the Hawkeyes announced the team will face Western Michigan. That nonconference matchup against the Broncos from the MAC will come in 2028.
Can’t say we didn’t give you a heads up.

That future meeting will be the fourth all-time between the two programs. Ironically, the Hawkeyes trail the all-time series with a 1-2 record against Western Michigan.
All 3 games have come since the year 2000 during Kirk Ferentz’s time leading Iowa. The Broncos won 27-21 in 2000 and 28-19 in 2007. Ferentz’s lone win against Western Michigan came in 2013 when now Minnesota coach PJ Fleck was leading the Broncos.
We’ll have to wait and see how the 2028 matchup turns out.
