CHARLOTTE — The NFL has released the schedule for each club's offseason workout program for the 2026 offseason.
The Carolina Panthers will begin on April 20 and run through June 11 at various times.
Clubs are allowed to hold three phases of the voluntary offseason workouts. Per the league:
Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may 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 vs. team defense drills are permitted.
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams may conduct 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.
The Panthers will hold their OTAs (the things that look most like football practice) in late May and early June.
The team's mandatory minicamp will be held June 9-11, where they'll get a full look at the draft class, plus a free agent crop that includes Jaelan Phillips, Devin Lloyd, and Rasheed Walker.
The team will then get a break before reporting to camp in July, in advance of the extra week of preseason they get thanks to playing in the Hall of Fame Game against the Cardinals on August. 6 in Canton, Ohio. That game's a precursor to legendary Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The full schedule of the Panthers offseason dates are as follows:
First Day: April 20
OTA offseason workouts: May 26-27, May 29, June 1-2, June 4
Mandatory minicamp: June 9-11
