Bucs Head Coach Todd Bowles Opens Up to Dan Sileo: Cutdown Day, Baker Mayfield, and Buccaneers Legacy
Training camp opens July 30 with eight fan‑accessible practices
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released their full 2026 training camp schedule, confirming eight open practices beginning Thursday, July 30. Three sessions will be available to the general public, while five will be reserved for Krewe Members, corporate partners, and select community groups. Krewe Member tickets become available June 16, followed by general admission access on June 22. All tickets will be digital and available through Ticketmaster.
Seven of the eight open practices will begin at 8:30 a.m., continuing the team’s tradition of morning sessions to help fans manage the summer heat. The lone evening practice returns on Tuesday, August 4, inside the indoor facility at AdventHealth Training Center. That night is exclusive to Krewe Members and includes a one‑hour autograph session before practice.
Buccaneers emphasize fan energy and offseason momentum
Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford said the organization is eager to welcome fans back to the training facility. He noted that training camp represents the first opportunity to showcase the energy built throughout the offseason. Ford emphasized that the passion of Buccaneers fans plays a meaningful role in preparing the team for the season ahead as the organization continues its pursuit of another championship.
The first four days of camp will follow NFL health and safety guidelines, featuring a non‑padded acclimation period. After players report on July 28 and complete a closed workout on July 29, the first open practice on July 30 will include a special on‑field experience for Special Olympics guests.
Themed days return, highlighting community and fan groups
July 31 marks the first Krewe Member exclusive day. After a scheduled off day, the team returns August 2 for the NFL’s Back Together Weekend with a Jr. Bucs‑only practice. Families with children 14 and under can still join the Jr. Bucs Fan Club to participate.
The first fully padded practice arrives August 3 with Military Day, presented by USAA. Service members will be honored with special programming, including demonstrations and a performance of the National Anthem.
On August 6, the team hosts She Is Football Day, celebrating female fans and spotlighting women in sports. The final general public practice is scheduled for August 7, followed by a Krewe Member‑only session on August 9 before the team departs for joint practices with the Jets.
