Penn State Athletics Introduces Fan Rewards and Experiences for 2026 Season
Penn State Athletics unveiled its Fan Rewards and Fan Experiences platforms on Monday, coinciding with the start of the 2026-27 academic year. This initiative, developed in partnership with Playfly Sports and Uptop, aims to reward the loyalty of Penn State fans.
The program allows fans to create accounts on the Penn State Rewards site, where they can accumulate points through daily check-ins, referrals, attending games, and making purchases at select stores. Currently, five brands are participating: Dunkin’, Utz, Jersey Mike’s, Giant, and Onvo. Fans also have the option to buy points, with prices ranging from $10 for 1,500 points to $100 for 25,000 points.
Available rewards include tickets to home games, pre-game tailgating experiences, autographed memorabilia, and an on-field pre-game experience, with the lowest reward priced at 59,000 points. The program is also expected to target students, offering additional rewards related to student ticket access. Currently, there are eight Fan Experiences available for bidding, redeemable for home games, along with options for video board messages during various sports events.
