The 2026 Blue and White spring game for Jackson State University (JSU) football is set for April 11, 2026, at the Walter Payton Center, kicking off at 12:30 p.m. CT. This game marks the first chance for fans to witness the Tigers' newly revamped roster, which includes 40 new players. Last season, the Tigers finished with a 9-3 record after losing in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) championship game against Prairie View A&M. Due to other events on campus that day, parking will be limited, with designated areas such as the T.B. Ellis Lot and College of Business Lot available for fans. Tailgating will be permitted, but fans must register for RV or tent spaces by April 10. The cost for RV parking is $100, while tent spaces are $25. Attendees should note that a clear bag policy is in effect, and outside food is not allowed. Fans are encouraged to bring lawn chairs for additional seating options.
