The people behind the current team
Manny Diaz is head coach. Jonathan Brewer directs the offense and quarterbacks, Jonathan Patke the defense and linebackers, and Gabe Infante is assistant head coach, special teams coordinator, and defensive line coach. The published staff includes position coaches for receivers, running backs, offensive line, tight ends, cornerbacks, safeties, tackles, and ends.
The roster tab lists all 101 players in Duke Athletics' 2026 table. It keeps their published jersey numbers, position, class, measurements, and hometown. These are a dated snapshot of the university listing rather than a claim that every player will dress for every game.

Coming off an ACC championship
Duke went 9–5 in 2025 and 6–2 in regular-season ACC play. It defeated Virginia 27–20 in overtime in the ACC Championship Game, then beat Arizona State 42–39 in the Sun Bowl. The league championship was Duke's first outright ACC football title since 1962.
The 2026 schedule does not repeat those postseason games. It has 12 regular-season fixtures, four already complete. Kickoff windows for later games remain TBD on Duke's official listing; the site shows those as unassigned instead of inventing times.
