TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State and the University of North Alabama announced the addition of a Sycamores home football game to open the 2022 season on Thursday afternoon.
 
North Alabama will make the trip to Terre Haute, Ind. and Memorial Stadium for a Thursday night kickoff on September 1, 2022. It will mark the first meeting between the two respective teams in their program histories.
 
"We're looking forward to welcoming North Alabama and for closing out the nonconference portion of the 2022 season," Indiana State Director of Athletics Sherard Clinkscales said. "UNA is a quality opponent with a good history and having them come to Terre Haute will provide a boost to our home schedule. We look forward to great game."
 
North Alabama is in their final season transitioning to the NCAA Division I FCS level after a storied history at the Division II level. The Lions currently compete as an affiliate member with the Big South Conference, but will be joining the newly-formed ASUN/WAC AQ7 starting in 2022.
 
The addition of the North Alabama game completes Indiana State's nonconference schedule for the 2022 season. The Sycamores will travel to Purdue on September 10 and welcome Montana to Memorial Stadium on September 17. The full 2022 schedule will be released at a later date.
 
Indiana State football is currently on a bye week following the 2021 season-opening 26-21 win over Eastern Illinois. The Sycamores are back in action next weekend as ISU makes its first road trip of the season heading to Evanston, Ill. and Ryan Field for a noon ET kickoff at Northwestern. The game will be carried live on the Big Ten Network and 105.5 The Legend.
