Nevada announces 2026 spring practice schedule

RENO, Nev. - Nevada Football and head coach Jeff Choate announced its 2026 spring practice schedule Thursday.

The Wolf Pack's four-week schedule of workouts begins Monday, March 9 and concludes Friday, April 10. Nevada will hold eight workouts over the two weeks of March 9-13 and March 16-19 before taking a week off. Workouts will resume Wednesday, April 1.

Season ticket prices for 2026 begin for as low as $135. Fans interested in investing in Season Tickets to six home games in 2026 can do so HERE with a $50 deposit. Existing Season Ticket Members can renew their tickets by calling (775) 348-PACK (7225).

Nevada hosts 2025 New Orleans Bowl champion Western Kentucky (September 5) and FCS national champion Montana State (September 12) for non-conference action at Mackay Stadium. The rest of the home slate, consisting of four Mountain West contests, will be announced at a later date.

Among the top returners for the Wolf Pack in 2026 is defensive end Dylan LaBarbera, who posted a breakout 2025 campaign in which he was named to the All-Mountain West First Team and the HERO Sports Group of Five All-America First Team.

The 2025 Chris Ault Award recipient as the Wolf Pack's Most Valuable Player in 2025, LaBarbera finished the season ranked tied for eighth in the nation in tackles-for-loss (17.0) and sixth in TFLs per game (1.42), both figures leading the Mountain West.

Linebacker EJ Smith, defensive lineman Logologo Va'a and cornerback Bryson Snelling also return to bolster the Wolf Pack defense.

On offense, left tackle Jack Foster (12 starts in 2025) and right tackle Zach Cochnauer (11 starts) come back, providing The Union two key pieces for 2026. They will play a key role in opening holes for a running game which returns Herschel Turner, Ky Woods, and Dominic Kelley.

Times and a media schedule for the spring workouts will come at a later date.
