Marshall Football will welcome Appalachian State to Joan C. Edwards Stadium on November 14, 2026, for the annual “Play For The 75” contest, a tradition that marks the anniversary of the tragic 1970 aircraft accident that claimed 75 lives.
A Day of Remembrance and Unity
The matchup serves as a solemn reminder of the 75 players, coaches, staff members, supporters, and flight crew who perished on that fateful day. Fans are encouraged to don black attire, creating a sea of mourning that underscores Herd Nation’s collective resolve.
In addition to the tributes, the game will host hundreds of high school musicians from across the region as part of High School Band Day, while Green & White Day will invite prospective students to experience Marshall’s campus, showcasing the university’s pride and community spirit.
Kickoff timing will be disclosed as part of the Sun Belt Conference’s 12‑day window, and season tickets along with Mini Plans for the 2026 season are already on sale. Single‑game tickets are slated to become available on July 15, giving supporters ample opportunity to secure their seats for what promises to be an emotionally charged event.
