Iowa State football may have five more regular season games in the 2017 season, but Iowa State athletics released the entire 2018 schedule. 

The Cyclones will start their season at home against South Dakota State on Sept. 1. Then, they will travel to Iowa City, Iowa, and play in-state rival Iowa at Kinnick Stadium on Sept. 8 where Iowa State lost 42-3 the last time in Hawkeye territory. 

Instead of having another non-conference game, Iowa State will play one Big 12 conference game against Oklahoma at home on Sept. 15. The Cyclones defeated then-No. 3 Oklahoma with a 38-31 final score this season. 

After one conference game, Iowa State will host Akron at Jack Trice Stadium on Sept. 22. The Cyclones went to Akron this season and won 41-14.  

Iowa State gets back to the Big 12 schedule with two road games when Iowa State travels to TCU on Sept. 29 and Oklahoma State on Oct. 6. Then, the Cyclones host West Virginia on Oct. 13 and Texas Tech on Oct. 27. There’s a bye week on Oct. 20. 

After two home games, Iowa State will travel to Kansas on Nov. 3 and then host Baylor on Nov. 10. To round out the end of the 2018 season, Iowa State will travel to Texas on Nov. 17 and finish the season at home against Kansas State on Nov. 24. 

Iowa State is 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Big 12 this 2017 season.
