The Carolina Panthers return to Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C. for training camp in 2021. Panthers training camp features a night practice at Gibbs Stadium as part of the NFL’s Training Camp: Back Together Saturday on July 31 and joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens on Aug. 18-19.
Training camp begins with the first practice on Wednesday, July 28, and the Panthers are scheduled to hold 14 practices that are free and open to the public at Wofford before breaking camp on Aug. 19.
While the team’s first practice of training camp has traditionally been held at Wofford’s Gibbs Stadium, the team’s first Gibbs Stadium practice in 2021 is scheduled for July 31 as part of the NFL’s Training Camp: Back Together Saturday celebrating the return of fans and football.
