PINEVILLE, La. – The Louisiana Christian University football team coaching staff will head to Dallas in January to head up the Patriots team in this year's Dream Bowl, which will be played January 11 at AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.
 
"Coaching in the Dream Bowl, one of the best college all-star games, is a privilege," said LCU head football coach Ben McLaughlin.
 
The Dream Bowl will kick off at 12 p.m. on Sun., Jan. 11 from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. It will be televised on FloSports.
 
McLaughlin and his staff led Louisiana Christian to an 8-3 record during the 2025 season, 7-1 in the Sooner Athletic Conference, and earned a share of the SAC Championship. The conference championship was the program's second in three seasons while being McLaughlin's first in his second season leading the Wildcats. McLaughlin was named the Sooner's Coach of the Year.
 
This is not McLaughlin's first experience with the Dream Bowl, having previously been a head coach in it from 2017-2019, during the event's formative years in Virginia Beach.
 
"It's been awesome to come back six years and see how its founder, Neil Malvone, has grown the game and brought it to AT&T Stadium. He had a vision for this game over a decade ago, and we feel very fortunate to be a small part of that vision again this year."
 
McLaughlin and the Wildcats staff will have three days to practice with his team of collegiate all-stars, from Jan. 8-10, before gameday on the 11^th.
