By Buccaneers Open 2026 Training Camp with eight Fan Days at AdventHealth Training Center in Tampa.
As one global football event ends, another begins.
With the FIFA World Cup almost in the rearview mirror, attention in Tampa shifts back to the NFL as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare to kick off training camp for the 2026 season later this month. Fans will have eight opportunities to watch quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers take the practice field, with access varying by day, while enjoying a full slate of family-friendly activities. It’s kind of a pre-season statement and tradition.
Two General Public Practice Days
Of the eight training camp sessions open to spectators, only two are fully open to the general public. Fans can purchase tickets to attend practices on:
- Thursday, July 30 – 8:30 a.m.
- Friday, August 7 – 8:30 a.m.
- Friday, August 7 – 8:30 a.m.
Each practice is expected to last approximately two hours and will include access to the Buccaneers’ popular Fan Zone and Kids Zone, featuring interactive activities, entertainment, and family attractions.
After practice on both General Public Days and the Krewe Member Days, children ages 14 and younger will have the opportunity to participate in a post-practice autograph session with Buccaneers players. Registration is available in person at the Kids Zone on a first-come, first-served basis. But autographns are not guaranteed.
Exclusive Training Camp Experiences
In addition to the two public practices, six specialty training camp days are scheduled for specific fan groups.
Season ticket holders will have exclusive access during three Krewe Member Days on:
- July 31
- August 4 (the only scheduled night practice)
- August 9
Fans interested in attending these exclusive sessions can still become eligible by purchasing Buccaneers season tickets. More information is available on the Bucs website.
Special Theme Days
The Buccaneers have also scheduled several themed practice days to celebrate different members of the community:
- August 2 – Jr. Bucs Day: Open to Jr. Bucs members and their families. Membership is available for a one-time fee of $35.
- August 3 – Military Day with USAA: Honoring active-duty military members, veterans, and their families.
- August 6 – She Is Football Day: Celebrating women and girls who are helping grow the game both on and off the field.
With a variety of open practices, exclusive access, and community celebrations, the Buccaneers’ 2026 training camp offers fans several chances to get an early look at the team before the regular season begins. Let’s get ready for a long season.
