The Ohio State football program will again be opening up a small subset of fall practices for fans heading into the 2026 season. The Buckeyes will start preseason camp on Thursday, Aug. 6, with the opening and the two subsequent dates of Aug. 7 and 8 open to fans. The news was announced on Tuesday.
It won't be free, though.
Visit afsport.lat for more information.
Fans who wish to attend any of the three practices can pay $48 for general admission, or for an elevated experience, fans can purchase V.I.P. tickets for $143 each. Those tickets not only get fans into the practice session but also include a shaded viewing area, snacks, and drinks. It must be noted that children under two years old will be admitted for free.
The opportunity to attend practice was a part of an announcement from the Ohio State Dept. of Athletics that also outlined a total of 25 summer practices to prepare for the season and continues a tradition, now running for four years, of allowing fans to attend practices inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
