Gopher Athletics has laid out the on-sale calendar for 2026 single-game football tickets, giving fans a roadmap for locking in seats at Huntington Bank Stadium before the season kicks off.
Per Gopher Sports, season-ticket holders get the first window on Thursday, July 9 at 9 a.m., followed by Gopher Score members later that same day at 1 p.m. University of Minnesota faculty and staff can start buying Tuesday, July 14 at 9 a.m., with football loyalty members following Wednesday, July 15 at 9 a.m. Single-game tickets then open to the general public Thursday, July 16 at 9 a.m.
Minnesota's 2026 home schedule features seven games at Huntington Bank Stadium: Eastern Illinois on September 3, Mississippi State on September 12, Akron on September 19, Michigan on October 3, Iowa on October 24, UCLA on November 7 and Northwestern to close out the home slate on November 21, according to Gopher Sports.
That gives Gophers fans a mix of a nonconference tune-up in Eastern Illinois, a marquee SEC crossover matchup against Mississippi State, and a loaded back half of Big Ten play with Michigan, Iowa, UCLA and Northwestern all coming to Minneapolis.
