Orono, Maine -- Renewals for the 2026 Maine Football season are available now!

The Black Bears will host six home games this fall at Morse Field at Alfond Stadium, starting with a matchup on Sept. 12 against Merrimack in Week 2 of the regular season. Maine opens the season against Towson in Week 0 on Thursday, Aug. 27.

Current season ticket holders are encouraged to renew by the deadline of Friday, May 1, 2026 to retain seat and parking priority. Season ticket pricing for 2026 reflects the continued investment in the student-athlete and fan experience while remaining among the best values in college football.

• Renewals may be completed:

  • Online through your Maine Athletics ticket account

  • By phone by calling 207-581-BEAR.

  • In person at the Black Bear Ticket Office (located inside Alfond Arena)

    • Business hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

• Additional instructions for accessing online accounts will be sent via email when renewals open.

Construction of the new Morse Arena, located adjacent to Alfond Sports Stadium, is underway as part of the University of Maine's Athletics Facilities Master Plan. While this project will significantly enhance our facilities in the future, it will continue to impact traffic flow and parking availability, including the Freshies Season Ticket Holder Lot, throughout the 2026 season.

• Renewing season ticket holders may receive one (1) complimentary parking pass in the Red Lot for general tailgating. 

• Season ticket holders may also upgrade to the enhanced Gold Lot (subject to availability).

  • The Gold Lot offers increased space, exclusivity, and greater flexibility for tailgating.

  • Each Gold Lot pass includes two (2) spaces: one for your vehicle and one for your tailgate setup.

  • Upgrade cost: $100 per season.

• Tailgating lots will open four (4) hours prior to kickoff and remain first-come, first-served unless otherwise designated.
