The 2026 edition of the Victory Bell Game will take place at FC Cincinnati's TQL Stadium, according to a report by Charlie Clifford of WLWT 5 NBC. The game is scheduled for Saturday, September 19th, 2026. This marks a change from previous years, where the game was held at Paycor Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals. The decision to move the game to TQL Stadium may be a wise one, given the past attendance figures. The 2014 Victory Bell game, the first played at Paycor Stadium since 1990, drew an impressive crowd of 41,926. However, the next two games at Paycor Stadium failed to reach these heights, with attendance figures of 16,062 and 30,109, respectively. The RedHawk athletic department likely looked at these figures and decided to move the game to a more suitable venue. TQL Stadium may not have the same capacity as Paycor Stadium, but it is a more suitable venue for a college football game. The game is expected to be a thrilling matchup between Miami and Cincinnati, and fans are eagerly anticipating the event.
