TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State will be heading to West Lafayette, Ind. and Ross-Ade Stadium one day earlier this season as the game between the Sycamores and the Purdue Boilermakers has been moved to Friday, September 4. Kickoff time for the game is set for 7 p.m. ET and will be carried live on the B1G Network.
 
The shift to Friday night under the lights marks the second consecutive season and Indiana State game against a Big Ten opponent has been flexed to a different date and time due to television. The Sycamores traveled to Indiana University and Memorial Stadium last season on Friday, September 12, for a Friday night contest against the Hoosiers.
 
The Sycamores and Boilermakers will meet for the eighth time in their respective program histories this season. Purdue leads the all-time series, 7-0, dating back to the inaugural opener in 1926. Purdue took the latest contest in the series in 2024 with the 49-0 win in the season opener.
 
Tickets for the Indiana State-Purdue game will be announced at a later date.
