Memphis football spring fest is off.
The event, which had been scheduled for April 18 at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, has been postponed because of the forecast of inclement weather on that day.
In an announcement on April 16, the program said it would hold the event at some point in the future. Memphis will still conclude spring practice on April 18 but will hold a closed practice at its facility.

The spring fest event was set to replace the annual spring game. Instead of holding a game, new coach Charles Huff had elected to hold a practice with fan engagement elements.
It also would have been the first opportunity for most Memphis fans to see the progress made on renovations to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. Those renovations have been ongoing for years but are set to be completed before the start of the 2026 season.
Memphis will go into the 2026 season with an almost entirely new roster. Huff has brought in dozens of transfers, and the Tigers will have new starters at most positions. That includes quarterback, where West Florida transfer Marcus Stokes and South Carolina transfer Air Noland are competing for the starting job.
