BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana welcomed the 2026 men's soccer season, training together for the first time on Tuesday (Aug. 4) as it opened its preseason.
IU welcomed 13 newcomers to its squad, including seven members of the top-ranked transfer class according to Top Drawer Soccer. Kicking off his 17th season as head coach of the program, Todd Yeagley met with the media to discuss early impressions of his new squad.
"It's a good mix. The mix that we're looking for," Yeagley said.
"Our focus is very much what [we are] doing right now to prepare for what is our first real game, Notre Dame."
Indiana comes into the fall the No. 22-ranked team in the country in the United Soccer Coaches poll, a reflection of its 2025 national finish, pending the Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News preseason rankings.
The Hoosiers open the season with a three-match homestand, kicking off with the season opener August 20 against Notre Dame. Fans will get their chance to see the 2026 team for the first time in a pair of home preseason exhibitions, August 10 versus Bowling Green and August 15 versus Loyola Chicago.
