The Memphis Football Fan Fest marks the official beginning of the Charles Huff era on August 8, 2026, inside Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
The highly anticipated event lowers all barriers for Tiger Nation, offering completely free admission alongside complimentary parking for all attendees. To bring the community together, the university is opening the Pink, Silver, and Tan parking lots early so fans can partake in the cityβs legendary game-day tailgating traditions.
Gates open for fans at 3 p.m, and the entrance to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium will only be allowed through Gate F (Entry 6).
Originally intended as the spring showcase before being rescheduled due to inclement weather, this event gives fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at a typical, high-energy team practice. Rather than watching a traditional scrimmage, the public will see exactly how Coach Huff runs his program.
Corporate partner FedEx is hosting a premier interactive activation zone right in the center of the plaza. Early arrival is highly encouraged, as the first 1,500 fans who check out the FedEx zone will walk away with a free, limited-edition Memphis Football shirsey.
The plaza will also cater to collectors and die-hard supporters by hosting a massive team equipment sale.
