While the final practice of the spring camp will be open to the public, restrictions will apply. Prospective student-athletes should be advised that the current NCAA COVID-19 dead period will still be in effect at the time of the public practice. This protocol renders that no staff member, coach, or current student-athlete can make any form of contact (including virtually) that chooses to attend the practice.

EMUEagles.com, the official web site of Eastern Michigan Athletics, and the team's social media accounts, @EMUFB, will be providing coverage of the football program's spring practices with various practice reports and content posts.

With the season fast approaching, the EMU Ticket Office will soon be releasing information on 2021 ticket packages. EMU's schedule features six home games, with the first set to be played on Friday, Sept. 3, against Saint Francis (Pa).

More information will be released via EMUEagles.com in the near future.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, practices will be closed to all media and individuals outside of the EMU Department of Athletics. All media requests will continue to be done virtually until further notice.
