When is the Senior Bowl on? Start time, TV channel, prospects to watch

When will the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl be played? Here is everything you need to know about the All-Star event from the Jacksonville Jaguars’ perspective.

What is the Senior Bowl?

The Senior Bowl is an invite-only, All-Star college football showcase for the top draft-eligible prospects.

The event is held in Mobile, Alabama, and consists of a week of highly competitive practices, where one-on-ones and team periods are emphasized, and concludes with an All-Star game on Saturday.

General managers and scouts from all 32 NFL teams flock to Mobile for this event. For many, it’s the first opportunity to see these prospects live, and the Senior Bowl also allows for NFL teams to meet with the prospects as well.

James Gladstone has only one draft under his belt as the Jaguars’ general manager, but there is already a strong connection between prospects he has selected and those who participated in the Senior Bowl.
