Iowa football reveals Kids’ Day at Kinnick practice date
The tradition rolls on yet another year!
One of the best days of the whole year for Iowa football is the Kids’ Day at Kinnick practice. Fans familiar with the team and the practice need no introduction. Just seeing the headline already generates excitement. Iowa’s Kids’ Day at Kinnick is back, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 12!
For the uninitiated, the Kids’ Day at Kinnick practice is an annual tradition by the University of Iowa football program that signifies the upcoming season. It takes place at the end of training camp and allows the team to engage with their younger fans.
The Kids’ Day at Kinnick practice is the final, big glimpse that the public has of the team and serves as a gauge to the state of things prior to the start of the season. Young fans are able to watch the team practice in person. Then, afterwards, it turns into a big autograph and photo session for the younger fans with their favorite Hawkeyes.

One of the highlights last year was the 2022 Kid Captains joining the players on the field for photos following an exclusive “inside look” at Kinnick Stadium. The Kid Captain program is a partnership between UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the University of Iowa Hawkeye football team that started in 2009. Twelve current and former patients are selected to have their stories highlighted throughout the football season.
Fans should keep an eye out for more information to come regarding the event!
