With head coach
Dowell Loggains entering his second season in Boone, the Mountaineers began Spring Ball 2026 practices earlier this month. They will host the "Battle at The Rock" spring football game at 1 p.m. on April 18 at Kidd Brewer Stadium.
There are 66 newcomers currently on the 2026 roster, including 35 transfer portal newcomers from NCAA institutions and 29 December signees. The first full signing class for Loggains became the highest-rated class in App State history and the highest-ranked class in Sun Belt history via 247Sports.
App State's 12-game regular season alternates between home and road games, with Game 1 on Sept. 5 being the first of six odd-numbered games at home.
Fans who haven't
renewed their season tickets will need to do so by the April 15 deadline.
Renew by that deadline to lock in current pricing for both the 2026 and 2027 seasons. Season ticket holders will also be granted early entrance at FanFest in August and have early access to discounted single-game tickets this summer.
Parking requests are also due by April 15. Parking allocation will begin at the start of May, allocated by Yosef Club membership level and then rank within that level. Parking requests are not guaranteed as lots are expected to be at full capacity again in 2026 (
