WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- With the Wake Forest football team clinching bowl eligibility on Saturday against No. 12 Virginia on Saturday night, there is no better time to reserve your spot for the much-anticipated 2026 season as season ticket deposits for home games at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium are now available, while a limited number of new $99 full-season Built in the Dark ticket plans are available through the Demon Deacon's December bowl game.
Click here for more information on the 2025 bowl season as the Demon Deacons are now set to play in their ninth postseason game since the 2016 season, which is tied for the second most in the ACC over that period.
The Built in the Dark ticket plan, priced at $99 per season ticket, will be available for seats in Sections 1 and 10 (rows FFF–OOO) and Sections 11(rows L-CC) and 12 (rows F–CC) while supplies last. Fans who purchase this plan before Wake Forest's bowl game will also receive an exclusive Built in the Dark t-shirt (one t-shirt per ticket).
Additionally, fans interested in renewing their season tickets or purchasing in a non-discounted location may make a $50 deposit per seat, or can select the option to automatically apply payment towards seats when season tickets officially go on sale in January. Full ticket pricing details will be announced at the conclusion of the 2026 season. Fans who make a season ticket deposit, or sign up in advance for auto-renewal/full payment ahead of Wake Forest's bowl game, will receive an exclusive head coach Jake Dickert bobblehead (one bobblehead per account, accounts with more than four tickets will receive two bobbleheads).
Wake Forest fans continue to create one of the most passionate gameday atmospheres in college football inside Allegacy Stadium. Since 2021, the Demon Deacons have hosted more than a dozen sellouts. Additionally, attendance has exceeded 95 percent of stadium capacity and student turnout has averaged 80 percent since 2022. The 2025 season kicked off before 30,789 fans as the Class of 2029 stormed the field, while Family Weekend brought another crowd of more than 30,000 for the matchup against No. 16 Georgia Tech.
Finally, two opportunities remain for Deacon Nation to come together and watch this exciting and fun team play inside Allegacy Stadium. First, Wake Forest's biggest home game of the season is just around the corner as the Deacs host North Carolina on Saturday, Nov. 15, in what marks just the Tar Heels' seventh trip to Winston-Salem this century. Amidst an incredible season that's featured clutch wins, a perfect October, and a three-game winning streak, the Demon Deacons need the full force of our home crowd behind them. This is a Big Four rivalry matchup and the entire community will want to witness this exciting contest. The game will also be the Military Appreciation game, honoring all current military and veterans.
With that, just one week later, the entire community can join us again for Seniors & Graduates Day on Nov. 22, as Wake Forest takes on Delaware and honors a remarkable group of veteran players who have led Wake Forest football back to its winning ways. These student-athletes embraced Coach Jake Dickert and his staff, set the tone for a new era, and embodied what it means to wear the Old Gold and Black. Come celebrate their leadership, resilience, and legacy in our final home game of the season—and send our seniors out the right way, in front of a packed and proud DEACTOWN crowd. Additionally, November 22 will be the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Educator Celebration Game. Partnering with leading community-minded contributors Allegacy Federal Credit Union, Proof of the Pudding, and Inmar Intelligence, Wake Forest will provide 3,000 sponsored packages - including a game ticket, a complimentary stadium meal, parking, and a celebratory t-shirt - for WSFCS teachers, staff, and their families, giving these dedicated educators a well-deserved day of celebration together inside Allegacy Stadium.

2026 Schedule Planning
