NORFOLK, Va. – The Priority Charity Bowl ODU Spring Game is set for Saturday, April 18 at 2 p.m. at Kornblau Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium.
This annual spring football tradition—free and open to the public—marks the culmination of ODU’s spring practice and offers fans a unique opportunity to get an early look at the 2026 Monarchs.
