Appalachian State University Announces 2026 Football Schedule
BOONE, N.C. — The Sun Belt Conference on Friday announced the complete 2026 regular season schedule for App State Football. The schedule has five Saturday home dates to go along with one midweek home game in league play: a nationally televised Thursday home contest against James Madison on Oct. 22, six days after App State plays a Friday night game at Coastal Carolina. The nonconference schedule is made up of four September games all played in the state of North Carolina, and the Mountaineers’ league schedule starts with six East Division matchups before concluding with a pair of games against West Division foes. ULM visits Boone before App State ends the regular season at South Alabama. With head coach Dowell Loggains entering his second season in Boone, the Mountaineers began Spring Ball 2026 practices earlier this month. There are 66 newcomers currently on the 2026 roster, including 35 transfer portal newcomers from NCAA institutions and 29 December signees. The first full signing class for Loggains became the highest-rated class in App State history and the highest-ranked class in Sun Belt history via 247Sports. 2026 SCHEDULESat., Sept. 5 vs. MaineSat., Sept. 12 at East CarolinaSat., Sept. 19 vs. CharlotteSat., Sept. 26 at NC StateSat., …
