Ohio State fans, mark your calendars! The annual Scarlet and Gray spring game is set for Saturday, April 18th at the iconic Ohio Stadium, kicking off at noon. This is your first chance to see the 2026 Buckeyes in action after five weeks of intense spring practice.
Head coach Ryan Day has confirmed the format will mirror last year's popular scrimmage, pitting the offense against the defense rather than splitting into two separate teams. This setup often creates a more competitive and revealing look at the team's progress, with the offense looking to extend its recent dominance—they've won three of the last four spring contests.
For those eager to get a glimpse of the future, all eyes will be on the electric connection between quarterback Julian Sayin and star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who have already been turning heads in practice. This game is the perfect opportunity to see the next generation of Buckeye stars before the fall.
The best part? Tickets are still available and incredibly affordable, with general admission starting at just $13. It's a fantastic, budget-friendly way to experience the game day atmosphere at The Shoe and show your team spirit. Don't miss this sneak peek at what promises to be another thrilling season of Ohio State football.
