Marshall Athletics sets Aug. 15 date for 2026 Quarterback Club Reverse Raffle

Marshall Athletics has scheduled its 2026 Quarterback Club Reverse Raffle for Aug. 15, placing the football-related supporter event on the calendar before the Thundering Herd’s home schedule begins in September.

The official Marshall Athletics archive lists the event as “Marshall Football’s 2026 Quarterback Club Reverse Raffle Returns August 15.” The listing appears among the department’s July 2026 announcements.

The event is connected to Marshall Athletics and the program’s football fan community in Huntington. It provides a scheduled preseason engagement opportunity for supporters as the university prepares for the 2026 football season.

August event precedes home schedule

The Aug. 15 raffle date comes before Marshall’s six listed home games in the finalized 2026 football schedule. Those home games at Joan C. Edwards Stadium are scheduled to begin in September.

Marshall Athletics announced the finalized football schedule on March 13. The schedule identifies a Sept. 26 Homecoming game against Gardner-Webb, one of the confirmed dates on the home slate.

The Thundering Herd is also scheduled to host App State at Joan C. Edwards Stadium on Nov. 14. Marshall Athletics designated that game as the program’s 75th game tied to remembrance of the 1970 plane crash.

The raffle therefore falls before two specific home-calendar milestones already identified by the department: the Sept. 26 Homecoming matchup with Gardner-Webb and the Nov. 14 App State game.

What the available announcement confirms

The archive announcement establishes that the Quarterback Club Reverse Raffle is set to return on Aug. 15, 2026. It does not provide a venue, ticket price, prize structure or beneficiary details in the available listing.

Marshall Athletics has not included those details in the archive material available for this announcement. The listing is an official athletics notice of the event date, rather than a full event-information release.

Supporters now have Aug. 15 as the next identified date for the 2026 Quarterback Club event. The football calendar that follows includes six listed home games, beginning in September, with Homecoming against Gardner-Webb on Sept. 26 and App State’s Nov. 14 visit among the dates announced by Marshall.

No ticketing, prize or site information is established by the available official source. Those details would require a separate Marshall Athletics announcement or event posting.
