FIU Panthers Gear Up for a Pivotal 2026 Season
Florida International University's football program is entering its second season under head coach Willie Simmons, launching a 21‑practice fall camp on August 7. The Panthers will hold most sessions on campus near the Ocean Bank Convocation Center, with media access limited to the final 30 minutes of each practice after credential approval. The season opener against USF in Tampa is set for September 5, and the program hopes to ride the momentum of its first bowl win in six years.
