A place for Bearcats fans to gather, connect, and celebrate. Celebrating our 12th Season! #TheDenS12 #TheCatmosphere
The Den is Cincinnati’s largest independent tailgate experience for Bearcats Football fans. Located in Sigma Sigma Commons — just steps from Nippert Stadium — The Den is a grassroots gameday tradition where fans gather to eat, drink, and rally before kickoff. Now entering our 11th season, The Den has grown into a community staple, combining high-energy gameday vibes with great music, themed activations, and strong local partnerships.
Zero losses. Zero logic.
Here is your official 2026 Cincinnati Bearcats schedule breakdown.
