Memphis Football Announces Details of Spring Fest
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Charles Huff era will begin in just under two weeks as the Memphis Football program hosts its annual spring event on Saturday, April 18 at 3 p.m. at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
The Memphis Football Spring Fest presented by FedEx is free to attend, with complimentary parking available. Fans can tailgate on Tiger Lane A and B, as well as in the Pink, Silver and Tan lots.
Rather than a traditional spring game, fans will get an inside look at a typical Memphis football practice, offering Tiger Nation its first glimpse of the 2026 team.
Throughout the practice, fans will have opportunities to win prizes, browse the equipment sale and enjoy performances by the Mighty Sound of the South alongside DJ Mic Tee.
The Highland Hundred will also host its annual BBQ Contest on Tiger Lane.
