LAFAYETTE – Fans can get their first look at the 2026 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Football team on Saturday when it wraps up spring practice with its annual Vermilion and White Spring Game at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium.
Â
The game will start at 11 a.m. Admission is free.
Â
Parking for fans will be available in the Northeast lots of Cajun Field. Fans will be able to enter through the Northeast Gate of the stadium.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns, which will wrap up spring camp following 15 practices since mid-March, will play a pair of 20-minute periods with segments scheduled for punts, field goals/extra points, and situational play. During a 15-minute halftime period, the Ragin' Cajuns Spring Award winners will be recognized by the coaching staff.
Â
For the third consecutive season, all six Louisiana home football games at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium will be played on Saturday, beginning with the opener against Lamar on September 5. The Ragin' Cajuns will also host American Conference member UAB on Sept. 19 before opening their SBC slate at home two weeks later against Arkansas State on October 3.
Â
Louisiana will also host Troy (October 17) and South Alabama (November 7) before closing out the home schedule against Coastal Carolina on November 21.
Â
Games at USC (Sept. 12) and Charlotte (Sept. 26) highlight the non-conference schedule before Louisiana opens its SBC road slate on October 10 against Louisiana Tech in Ruston for the 88th time overall, and the first conference matchup between the schools since 1995.
Â
Louisiana will also travel to face another rival – Southern Miss – on October 24 in Hattiesburg and will play its lone midweek game on November 12 when it makes a second trip to North Louisiana to face ULM in a Thursday night contest at Malone Stadium.
Â
After wrapping up the home schedule against SBC East Division opponent Coastal Carolina, the Ragin' Cajuns will close out the regular season against another SBC East foe – Georgia State – on November 28 in Atlanta.
Â
Kickoff times and TV designations for the first three games and national broadcasts will be announced in late May. All other remaining kickoff times will be announced by the Sun Belt and ESPN 12 days prior to each game.
