Baylor Football 2026
We are only a few short weeks away from cheering on Coach Aranda and the Baylor football team for the 2026 season. The student experience at McLane Stadium is one of the best in the country and we are excited to welcome back a full capacity student section. Your presence and your excitement make a huge difference in the game experience for other fans and for the team, so a few years ago, we increased student seating by 20% to over 11,000 student tickets! We look forward to seeing you at every single game this year and cheering our Bears to victory.
Student Seating at McLane Stadium
Baylor has two student seating areas at McLane Stadium for the 2026 season including the Baylor Line (first-year students) and the General Admission student section above the Baylor Line (all students.)
The Baylor Student Game Day Experience is available exclusively to current Baylor students to support Baylor teams. Student participants are not permitted to wear opposing team gear or colors during the entirety of the Student Game Day Experience. Students wearing opposing team gear or colors will not be permitted to partake in the experience.

Baylor has a number of policies to ensure as many students as possible have the opportunity to attend home games at McLane Stadium. The policies are intended to encourage active participation and responsibility for attending home football games. It is our hope to pack the stands with the best fans in the world - our students!
- Students that reserve a ticket and do not attend the scheduled home game will be placed on a restricted listing for the next home game. Whereas all other students are able to begin reserving tickets five days prior to the home football game, students under this restriction will be able to begin reserving tickets four days prior to the home football game.
- Students who do not attend a game due to inclement weather conditions are still subject to restrictions for the following home game.
- There are no restrictions for students who return their unused ticket by Thursday prior to the home game.
- Students who attempt to sell a reserved student ticket will be prohibited from reserving tickets for the remainder of the academic year.
- Students who attempt to transfer their ticket to another student or non-student will be restricted from reserving tickets for two home games.
- If you wish to appeal a cancellation, please complete the appeal form.
Students may avoid a non-use penalty by returning their ticket. To return your ticket, log into your student athletic ticket account and click "Return Ticket".
Returned student tickets will be immediately placed back up online for claim and redistributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
The University recognizes that some home games may require accommodations outside the normal policy. This includes restricting tickets for certain games or traditions that are essential to the Baylor experience.
