Season Tickets | Wake Forest vs. Miami Hurricanes | Opening Night at Allegacy Stadium on Sept. 3
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Coming off one of the most accomplished seasons in program history, Wake Forest enters the offseason as the winningest Power 4 program in the Carolinas. In his first year at the helm, head coach Jake Dickert guided the Demon Deacons to a historic nine-win campaign – just the fourth such season in Wake Forest history – and the 2025 college football season officially concludes on Monday, Jan. 19, with fellow ACC squad Miami set to compete in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
As head coach Jake Dickert shared after his team's Duke's Mayo Bowl victory over Mississippi State, this season laid "a tremendous foundation," highlighted by wins over CFP Top-25 opponents SMU and Virginia, as well as the Big Four victory over North Carolina inside a sold-out Allegacy Stadium. Wake Forest is one of just five ACC programs – alongside Clemson, Louisville, Duke and NC State – to record at least five eight-win seasons over the last nine years.
Building on that winning momentum, Wake Forest Athletics today announced a special, limited-time early ticket-sales opportunity for its marquee 2026 home matchup against CFP Finalist Miami at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium.
A limited number of single-game tickets for the Deacs-Hurricanes game are available now at exclusive early-access pricing, with prices expected to increase once full single-game ticket sales begin following the ACC's schedule release later this month:
As part today's announcement, fans who purchase Miami tickets during this early-access window will receive exclusive incentives, including:
Additional Single-Game Ticket Opportunity
In addition to the special Deacs-Canes early-access ticket offer, Wake Forest has opened limited single-game ticket sales for Opening Night at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium.
Wake Forest is offering a limited-time discounted promotional rate of just $10 per ticket, providing an affordable and family-friendly way for fans, students, youth groups, and community organizations to experience Wake Forest football inside Allegacy Stadium. This offer will be available for a limited time and prices are expected to increase after the ACC's schedule release later this month.
These early-release ticket opportunities allow fans to lock in seats now at the best available pricing for two expected sellouts as excitement builds toward another exciting fall of ACC football in Winston-Salem. Fans who purchase Opening Night tickets during this promotion will also be entered into a drawing for an upgrade into the Pollard Club or Touchdown Club.
