2026 Football SBC Media Days Slated for July 15-16
The 2026 Sun Belt football season will officially kick off with Sun Belt Football Media Days on Wednesday, July 15, and Thursday, July 16.
For the third-straight year, the event will be held at the New Orleans Marriott Warehouse Arts District in downtown New Orleans and will be broadcast nationwide on ESPN+.
The Sun Belt is coming off a 2025 season in which it earned its first-ever berth into the College Football Playoff (CFP) after having six teams listed in the CFP Selection Day Rankings over the past seven seasons. The Sun Belt also paced all non-autonomy conferences in Bowl Season representation for the fourth-straight year.
