The University of Tennessee at Martin football program will open its 2026 preseason camp on Tuesday, July 28, launching a series of 22 practice sessions that run through mid‑August.
All sessions are held at Hardy M. Graham Stadium and are open to the public, giving fans a chance to watch the Skyhawks fine‑tune their play before the season begins.
Season Outlook and Key Opponents
The Skyhawks enter the camp fresh off four of the last five Ohio Valley Conference titles, a streak that has heightened expectations among players and alumni.
The 12‑game schedule features high‑profile matchups, including a September 12 road test at West Virginia and a home clash with Memphis on September 19.
In addition to those marquee games, the team will host five FCS opponents — Central Arkansas, Chicago State, Gardner‑Webb, Eastern Illinois and Lindenwood — providing a varied slate of competition.
