College football: 2019 spring game schedule

The 2019 college football season will get it’s earliest preview with the spring games, but when will your team be taking the field this spring?

For much of the last college football season, the talk was all about the Alabama Crimson Tide and how they were a juggernaut. And yet, it was the Clemson Tigers, less talked about than the Tide for much of the year, that were ultimately the unstoppable force, dismantling Nick Saban’s team in the National Championship Game. Now it’s on to the 2019 college football season.

Obviously there are still many months left until the 2019 regular season in college football gets rolling. However, with National Signing Day still squarely in the rearview mirror and fans throughout the country exceedingly excited about what’s to come, there will be a little appetizer coming for the 2019 season: the college football spring games.

Starting with a few schools in late February and throughout March before ramping up into full gear in April, the college football spring game schedule is about to kick off and give fans their first looks at what their teams will look like in the upcoming season. But when does your favorite team put on the pads for their spring game?

Let’s take a look at the full 2019 college football spring game schedule.
