The 2025 Duke Football Employee Appreciation Day will be held on Saturday, November 15, giving Duke staff and faculty the opportunity to cheer on the Blue Devils with family, friends and colleagues at Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Benefits eligible staff and faculty at the University and Health System can reserve two free tickets to Duke’s home showdown with Atlantic Coast Conference foe Virginia. Two additional tickets can be purchased for a discount rate of $5 each. Tickets will provide access to a pre-game meal and kid-friendly activities on the Duke Football practice field next to the stadium.

Registration for employee tickets will open on Oct. 13.

The start time for the game will be announced in November. Additional details on how to reserve tickets and game day information will be shared in the coming months.

Last season, the Blue Devils racked up nine wins and an appearance in the Gator Bowl under first-year coach Manny Diaz. It marked the third-straight season in which Duke won eight-or-more games.
