Bulldogs Announces 2026 Friday Night Lights Theme Nights


PALM COAST, Fla. — Friday nights are about more than football at Flagler Palm Coast High School. This fall, the Bulldogs are bringing a full lineup of theme nights to the home stands, giving students, families and fans a different way to show their FPC spirit throughout the 2026 season.

FPC is scheduled for six regular-season home games, beginning with the annual rivalry matchup against Matanzas on Aug. 21 and concluding with Senior Night against Orange Park on Oct. 30.

Here’s what Bulldog fans can look forward to under the Friday night lights:

Aug. 21 vs. Matanzas — Green Out | Potato Bowl

There may be no better way to open the home schedule.

FPC welcomes crosstown rival Matanzas for the Potato Bowl, with Bulldog fans being asked to turn the stands green for a Green Out. The rivalry matchup is also part of the 2026 Flagler Radio football broadcast schedule.

Wear green, get loud and help set the tone for the season.

Aug. 28 vs. Riverside — Neon Night

One week later, the Bulldogs are back home against Riverside, and the student section is going bright.

Neon Night calls for fluorescent shirts, bright colors and anything that can light up the FPC stands.

Sept. 11 vs. First Coast — Minions | Childhood Cancer Awareness

FPC’s September home game will carry an important message.

The Bulldogs will recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness while the student section brings a Minions theme to the night. First Coast is also a district opponent for FPC, adding importance to the matchup on the field.

Fans are encouraged to break out the yellow/gold while supporting childhood cancer awareness.

Oct. 9 vs. Sandalwood — Pink Out | Breast Cancer Awareness

October begins at home with one of the most recognizable traditions of the season: Pink Out.

FPC hosts Sandalwood in another district matchup as Bulldog Nation fills the stands with pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Tie-dye is also part of the theme, so fans can get creative while showing their support.

Oct. 16 vs. Creekside — Tropical Green Out | Homecoming

Homecoming gets a Florida twist in 2026.

When Creekside visits FPC, Bulldog fans can combine school colors with island style for a Tropical Green Out. Hawaiian shirts, leis, tropical prints and plenty of Bulldog green will take over the stands for Homecoming Night.

The Oct. 16 contest is another district game for FPC.

Oct. 30 vs. Orange Park — Men in Black | Senior Night

The regular-season home finale belongs to the seniors.

FPC hosts Orange Park on Oct. 30 for Senior Night, with the student section going Men in Black. Fans are encouraged to wear black as FPC recognizes the seniors who will take the home field for the final scheduled regular-season game of their Bulldog careers.

From a Green Out for the Potato Bowl to Men in Black on Senior Night, every home game brings something different this fall.

So check the calendar, plan the outfits and get ready, Bulldog Nation. Friday Night Lights are almost back at FPC.
