The long offseason is nearly over as members of the Valparaiso football program celebrated the end of summer workouts by completing The 3 Dune Challenge at the Indiana Dunes State Park last week.

The next hill to climb for the Beacons will be the start of fall camp as the 2026 roster is set to report to campus on Wednesday as Andy Waddle begins his second year leading the program.

Valparaiso will have a week and a half of camp before holding its annual media day on Sunday, Aug. 9. The Beacons are set to open the 2026 campaign at Brown Field against Lawrence Tech on Saturday, Aug. 29.


The Victory Bell will launch its annual fall sports preview on Saturday, Aug. 8 and that will include 23 straight days of content, including positional group previews for football, soccer and volleyball. Be sure you’re subscribed to The Victory Bell so you don’t miss any of the action this season.


The official 2026 roster was released in the days leading up to the start of camp. As always, there will be changes throughout the coming weeks, but the current roster gives some clarity to the players expected to arrive on campus this week.
