Full Ole Miss Fall Camp Schedule: Dates, Practice Times, Everything Fans Need to Know

The Ole Miss Rebels are around 50 days away from the kickoff, meaning it is almost officially time for fall camp.

With SEC Media Days on the horizon on July 22 in Tampa, this pulls the attention to Pete Golding’s first season, as the Rebels prepare for what is believed to be a College Football Playoff-level season.

While Ole Miss has not publicly released the date or a day-to-day practice itinerary, fall camp is expected to begin early August, ahead of the Rebels’ trip to Nashville for the Music City Kickoff against Louisville.

This article will be updated as more official practice dates become available.

Will Practices Be Open to the Media?

In past years, the Rebels have traditionally kept fall camp practices closed to the public and media, but they do have select moments for viewing periods and post-practice interviews.

The athletic department typically reveals any open sessions or media opportunities closer to the camp date.
