On the first day, the East Division’s representatives will take the stage, with Coastal Carolina among the featured schools. The Chanticleers will be led by head coach Ryan Beard, who will be joined by two of his players. The university’s media relations office says the student‑athlete contingent will be announced in the coming weeks.

The following day will shift focus to the West Division, where Louisiana Tech will make its inaugural appearance at the Media Days as a newly admitted member of the conference. The Bulldogs’ participation marks a milestone in the program’s integration into the Sun Belt’s competitive landscape.

Beyond the school‑specific sessions, the event promises a full slate of interviews, press conferences and behind‑the‑scenes access as the league prepares to launch the 2026 campaign. Further details, including broadcast partners and a comprehensive schedule, are slated to be released by the conference office in the near future.
