Duke football fans, mark your calendars for an earlier start this Saturday! The annual Blue & White Spring Game, the culmination of the team's spring practice, has moved its kickoff to 10 a.m. The schedule change is a proactive measure due to a forecast of severe heat expected in Durham later in the day, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for players and fans alike.

This intrasquad scrimmage offers the first public glimpse of the Blue Devils as they begin their title defense. Coming off a historic 2025 season where they won their first outright ACC championship since 1962, all eyes will be on how Head Coach Manny Diaz's squad is shaping up. While the return of standout running back Nate Sheppard provides a stable foundation, key questions remain, particularly on how the offense will reload after losing quarterback Darian Mensah and top receiver Cooper Barkate to the transfer portal.

Admission to the game at Wallace Wade Stadium is free. For those making a day of it, note that the Duke Athletics' surplus sale will still be held but has been relocated to Cameron Indoor Stadium, running from 12:30 to 6 p.m. It's the perfect opportunity to support the team, get a sneak peek at the fall roster, and maybe even find some new Blue Devils gear.
