The NFL has officially released the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offseason program schedule. The Jaguars will welcome players back into the facility in two weeks, with the program set to begin on April 20th, a significant milestone for a coaching staff and roster eager to get to work after their first full offseason together. For Liam Coen, Anthony Campanile, Heath Farwell, and the rest of Jacksonville’s second-year leadership group, April 20th marks the moment the offseason talk finally gives way to on-field
work.
Offseason Program
- April 20th – First day of offseason program
- May 11th – Rookie Minicamp: “Each club may hold a rookie football development program for a period of seven weeks, which in 2026 may begin on May 11. During this period, no activities may be held on weekends, with the exception of one post-Draft rookie minicamp, which may be conducted on either the first or second weekend following the draft. The dates of each club’s post-draft rookie minicamps will be circulated at a later date.
The NFL’s voluntary offseason workout program is designed to provide players with structured training, instruction, and physical conditioning heading into the new season. For Jacksonville, the program will follow the league’s standard three-phase format across an official nine-week window:
- Phase One: Kicks off on April 20th, where the first two weeks of the program includes activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.
- Phase Two: the next three weeks of the program, including on-field workouts which can include individual or group instruction and drills, as well as “perfect play drills,” and drills and plays with offensive players lining up across from offensive players and defensive players lining up across from defensive players, conducted at a walk-through pace. No live contact or team offense versus team defense drills is allowed.
- Phase Three: the next four weeks of the program where teams are allowed a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or “OTAs”. No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.

As outlined above, the Jaguars will begin phase one of their offseason program: two weeks of meetings, strength and conditioning, and rehabilitation, on April 20th. The pending rookie draft class, including undrafted free agents, will then report for Rookie Minicamp on, or around, May 11th. The team is then scheduled to appear at the Miller Electric Center practice fields on Monday, May 26th, for Voluntary OTAs, which includes nine days of team practice activities, such as 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills. No live contact is allowed during OTAs, per NFL rule, however. Mandatory Minicamp is within phase three of the offseason program and kicks off on June 9th before the teams’ to-be-determined date for Training Camp.
The countdown has officially began and the wait ia almost over. Are you ready for some football?
