Oklahoma Sooners announce date for 2026 spring football game

The Oklahoma Sooners will host a spring football game on April 18, 2026, in Norman, returning to the tradition after a hiatus in 2025. The event will provide fans with their first look at the 2026 team following the Sooners' College Football Playoff appearance in 2025. With no spring transfer portal window this offseason, the game will closely resemble the team's final roster for the fall season.

Head coach Brent Venables will oversee a team that has both lost and gained key players, including new recruits and transfers. Additionally, Oklahoma has appointed Molly Jacoby as Director of Recruiting, replacing Jolie Ale, who moved to Auburn. The Sooners are also in talks to bring LaMar Morgan on board as the defensive backs coach, succeeding Jay Valai, who joined the Buffalo Bills.

Further developments include legislative efforts by the mayors of Norman and Stillwater to reestablish the Bedlam rivalry with Oklahoma State, and ten former Sooners from the 2025
