CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — UNI football fans are invited to celebrate this year's spring season with UNI's 2026 Spring Game, hosted inside the UNI-Dome on April 25. This season, by popular demand, the FREE UNI football kids camp will return, hosted and run by the UNI Panther football team ahead of the Spring Game.
Doors will open at 11 a.m. CT for kids clinic check-in. All clinic attendees need to be checked in by 11:30 a.m. UNI football's Spring Game Kids Clinic is limited to 250 participants, aged K-6th grade! The free kids clinic will run for one hour from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. After the conclusion of the clinic each participant will receive a bottle of water, a snack and a UNI football poster! Registration for the camp can be found HERE.
Between the conclusion of the kids clinic at 12:45 p.m. and kickoff of the Spring Game at 2 p.m., fans will have the chance to show off their skills with interactive fan competitions and other programming features. All attendees can enter to win a Todd Stepsis autographed football. Concession stands will be OPEN for attendees for food and drinks throughout the event.
Fans will have their first opportunity to check out the 2026 Panther squad at this free, open-to-the-public event. The game will not be streamed, so the only way to take in the sights and sounds is in-person inside the UNI-Dome on April 25. The Spring Game kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT. The Spring Game will feature a variety of competitions, including position-specific skills challenges.
Interested in new season tickets? Deposits can be placed HERE, and fans will be seated in first-come, first-serve order after all renewing season ticket holders have been seated. Ticket office representatives will be on hand to answer questions during the Spring Game. The 2026 football schedule will be finalized soon and season ticket renewals will be available shortly thereafter!
