The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the team’s training camp schedule, which will feature a total of nine practices at the AdventHealth Training Center that will be open for viewing to Krewe members, premium Krewe members, Stadium Club members, luxury suite owners, corporate partners, and select groups. The team invites the general public to view an additional practice on Monday, August 14.
The majority of the team’s 10 viewable practices will take place in the morning, with eight beginning at 8:30 a.m. Additionally, there will be a night practice in the indoor practice facility on August 1 starting at 7:00 p.m. and the annual Women of Red Day at Training Camp presented by AdventHealth will be hosted August 13 at 1:00 p.m. With exception of the night practice, all practice sessions are scheduled to be held outside on the primary practice fields at AdventHealth Training Center and will feature covered bleacher seating for those in attendance.
A digital ticket – available through the Ticketmaster account manager for all members – will be required for entry to all practice sessions. As in previous seasons, there will be a reservation fee for tickets with proceeds benefitting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Foundation to uplift our community, inspire our youth and drive social change through programs that enrich the lives of families in our region. Tickets for Krewe members will be available starting July 13, with general admission tickets going on sale July 18. Similar to last year, access to the member practices will be granted on a first-come basis and prioritized by tenure. Fans can sign up here to be notified when general tickets officially go on sale.
“Training camp is always one of the most anticipated times of the year because it allows our players and coaching staff the first opportunity to interact with our fans and really sets the stage for the excitement of the upcoming season,” said Buccaneers Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford. “During those challenging first few weeks of practices, our players really do feed off the energy that our passionate fans provide. This year, in addition to our nine practices which have been set aside exclusively for our Krewe season pass members and various community groups, we are excited to announce a tenth practice which will be available to the general public so that all fans in the area will have a chance to come out and show their support.”
The team’s first training camp practice open to Krewe members will be Sunday, July 30, kicking off the third annual Training Camp: Back Together Weekend, a league-wide initiative. The first fully padded, full-contact practice will be on Monday, July 31. Open practices will conclude Monday, August 14 with a day open to the general public. The team will then leave Tampa for joint practices with the New York Jets.
In addition to the practices open to Krewe members and general public, the team will also have exclusive viewing opportunities for select groups.
On Monday, July 31, the team welcomes military personnel for an exclusive outing and viewing opportunity during Military Day. The organization will host its annual Jr. Bucs and Community Impact Day at Training Camp on Wednesday, August 9. In the afternoon on Sunday, August 13, the Buccaneers will host a special viewing of practice for Women of Red Day at Training Camp presented by AdventHealth – the team’s female-focused fan club – starting at 1:00 p.m.
Families with Buccaneers fans 14 and under are still eligible to sign up and join the Jr. Bucs Fan Club.
