Academy Sports + Outdoors Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Holiday & Sunday Hours

Academy Sports Hours Today: 10 Stores, One Schedule

Each Academy store page at academy.com/storelocator lists a seven-day schedule. We read 10 of them from Alabama to Texas and Ohio, and every one showed the same week.

That is a 14-hour day Monday to Saturday and a 12-hour day on Sunday. The list covers small and large markets alike, for instance Ardmore in Oklahoma and Bradenton on Florida's Gulf coast, and the schedule did not move.

Academy Sports Sunday Hours

Sunday hours at the stores we read were 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM, an hour later at the start and an hour earlier at the end than the rest of the week. The pages show one Sunday line for the store, with no separate Sunday times for any department.

• Opens at 9:00 AM on Sunday against 8:00 AM Monday to Saturday.
• Closes at 9:00 PM on Sunday against 10:00 PM Monday to Saturday.
• Sunday had the same hours at all 10 stores, from Albany, Georgia to Boardman, Ohio.

Academy Sports Hours by Day of the Week

Here is the week as the 10 store pages posted it, day by day, with the number of hours the doors stay open. Use it to see at a glance how much shorter Sunday is than the other six days.

Across a full week that adds up to 96 open hours, with Sunday contributing 12 of them. Saturday is no shorter than a weekday, so there is no early Saturday close to plan around.

What Time Does Academy Sports Open and Close?

The posted times were 8:00 AM to open and 10:00 PM to close, Monday through Saturday. The line labeled Store Hours on the page for your location is the one to trust over any summary, including this one.

If you are looking for an open-now answer after 9:00 PM on a Sunday, the schedule we read says the store has closed. On Monday through Saturday it stays open for another hour.

Academy In-Store Pickup, Curbside and Same-Day Delivery

Under the heading Get Your Gear Today, the store pages advertise three ways to get an online order: in-store pickup in 1 hour, curbside pickup in 1 hour and same-day delivery. Those are the page's own claims, and the pages did not list separate pickup hours.

A one-hour promise is not much use if you order at 9:30 PM and the store shuts at 10:00 PM, so place a pickup order early enough to leave time before closing, and on Sunday allow for the earlier 9:00 PM close.

Academy Store Services: Hunting and Fishing Licenses, Propane and More

The Boardman, Ohio store page lists the following under Store Services. No separate hours appear for any of them, so we assume they run during store hours and recommend calling if you need one near closing time.

• Hunting and Fishing Licenses
• Reel Line Spooling
• Boresighting and Scope Mounting
• Propane Exchange Program
• Product Delivery and Assembly

The page also states that all major credit cards are accepted. Which services a specific store offers can differ, so use the page for your store, not Boardman's.

Two of the entries are worth a note. Propane Exchange is listed as a program, so ask the store how it works before you bring an empty tank. Product Delivery and Assembly is listed as a store service too, with no details on the page we read about what is covered, so ask before you buy.

Where Academy Sports + Outdoors Stores Are

The store sitemap lists 353 store pages in 21 states, and the directory at academy.com/storelocator/directory groups them by state. Those are pages, not a confirmed store count, and the directory's own tallies differ slightly from the sitemap in a few states.

Texas has by far the most pages, more than 100. Georgia and Florida follow with 24 and 21 in the sitemap, and several states, among them Illinois, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland, have between one and three.

The Southeast and Texas dominate the list: Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and Tennessee each have about 18 pages in the sitemap, and Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and Indiana have 10 or more. Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia have between five and six each.

Store pages use the address pattern academy.com/storelocator/{state}/{city}/store-{number}, so the store numbers in our table, such as 0265 for Huntsville, can be found in the page address.

Do All Academy Sports Stores Have the Same Hours?

All 10 stores we read posted the same week, which suggests a company-wide default. Ten pages out of 353, though, is a small sample, and we found no statement from Academy that every location must follow it.

• Pick the store page by city, not by a neighbor's town.
• Check the Sunday row on its own, since Sunday is where a shorter day would show up first.
• Re-check the page on the day of a long drive, since we read it on November 3, 2026.

How We Checked Academy Sports Hours Near You

We opened the store pages for Huntsville, Abilene, Albany, Bradenton, Chattanooga, Apex, Ardmore, Alexandria, Belton and Boardman on November 3, 2026 and copied the Store Hours line for each. The sample spans 10 states from Georgia and Florida to Missouri and Ohio, which is why the matching result is worth noting.

If your city is not among them, the directory page at academy.com/storelocator/directory is the fastest route: choose your state, choose the city, and read the week on the page that opens. The pages we read also list the pickup options described above.

Academy Sports Holiday Hours: Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Christmas

The store pages we read did not list a holiday schedule. We cannot say whether a store is open or closed on Thanksgiving (November 26, 2026), Black Friday (November 27), Christmas Eve (December 24) or Christmas Day (December 25). The same applies to New Year's Day on January 1, 2027.
