Ohio State Fall Camp To Have Three Open Practices For Paying Fans

In a roundabout way, the Ohio State football program has announced that fall camp this year will kick off on July 31.

As in years past, the Buckeyes are making some of the early practices available to fans who purchase tickets.

Here is the relevant information from an Ohio State release.

Ohio State fans will have three opportunities to watch the defending national champions practice this fall as Ohio State Sports Properties, the locally based team of Learfield – the media and technology company powering college athletics – presents the Ohio State Football Kickoff Week. The week includes admission for ticketed fans to Ohio State’s fall camp football practices on July 31, Aug. 1 and Aug. 2 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. 

Early bird pricing for tickets for the fall camp practices is $30 apiece for general admission and $135 for VIP from June 2 through July 13. Tickets will be available on a first come, first serve basis starting at 10 a.m. on June 2 at https://www.universe.com/OSUTRAININGCAMP2025. Prices increase to $45 for general admission and $150 for VIPs on July 14. There will be 750 tickets available for each practice session with a limit of 10 tickets per order. Gates for each practice session will open at 8:30 a.m., with practice beginning at approximately 9:15 a.m. 

The admission price includes a commemorative 2025 Ohio State training camp mini football (available upon check-in) and access to the family-friendly Fanfest.

Fall camp will see the continuation of the quarterback battle between redshirt freshman Julian Sayin and redshirt sophomore Lincoln Kienholz. The Buckeyes will also be searching for a new starting running back — or two.

Superstar sophomore wide receiver Jeremiah Smith returns, as do a host of offensive linemen with starting experience. A new starting defensive line will need to be found, while the back seven returns star players like senior linebacker Sonny Styles and All-American safety Caleb Downs.
