CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — With the launch of its “Sell Out Scott” campaign, Virginia Athletics is calling on Cavalier fans to pack Scott Stadium for the 2026 football season opener against ACC foe NC State on Aug. 29. The initiative aims to create one of the premier gameday atmospheres in college football as Virginia builds on a school-record 11-win season and provides fans the opportunity to be part of one of the most anticipated home openers in school history. 

The season opener has been designated a Fan First game, making one of the biggest matchups of the season one of the most affordable. Family 4-Packs are available for as low as $25 per person, a welcoming opportunity for Cavalier fans to experience the excitement of opening kickoff together. Fans are encouraged to secure their seats early via UVATix.com or through the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office before the best seating locations are gone. 

A sellout would mark Scott Stadium's first since Sept. 13, 2008, when a record crowd of 64,947 packed the stadium for Virginia's matchup against USC. 

Led by reigning ACC Coach of the Year Tony Elliott, the Cavaliers finished 11-3 in 2025 and became the first team in program history to finish alone atop the ACC standings while tying the school record of seven conference victories. The season concluded with a dramatic TaxSlayer Gator Bowl victory over Missouri, capping the winningest season in school history.

The NC State game is the first of seven opportunities for fans to experience Virginia Football at Scott Stadium this season. Last year’s regular-season meeting between the Cavaliers and Wolfpack came down to the final drive and was one of only three games involving two ACC teams that was decided by four points or less and saw at 930 combined total yards.
