Texas Football Schedule 2026

Texas beat Ohio State 24-23 on September 12 after a fourth-quarter comeback. The September 26 SEC opener at Tennessee finished 20-17 in Texas's favor, moving the Longhorns to 4-0.

Texas lost 27–24 to Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl on October 10 after entering the rivalry 4–0. The Longhorns now turn to three consecutive home SEC games.

The most recent final was Texas L 24-27 vs Oklahoma. Florida visits Austin on October 17 at 11 a.m. CT on ABC.

The regular season closes with the Lone Star Showdown against Texas A&M on Friday, November 27. That rivalry game will be played at Kyle Field in College Station and is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

Through October 10, Texas is 4–1 overall and 1–1 in SEC play. Its three Austin wins came by a combined 113–36, but the two games away from home were decided by three points each: a 20–17 win at Tennessee and a 24–27 loss to Oklahoma at the neutral-site Cotton Bowl. Five games are too small a sample to predict the rest of the season, yet the contrast explains why the next three home dates matter.

Florida, Ole Miss and Mississippi State visit Austin on consecutive Saturdays. Florida has a confirmed 11 a.m. CT kickoff on ABC on October 17; Ole Miss follows at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC on October 24. Mississippi State has a night broadcast window on October 31, with the exact kickoff and network still unannounced. Fans arranging travel for that third game should treat the window as provisional.

These totals and venue splits are calculated from the five final scores on the results page. Game times and channels were checked against the Texas Athletics schedule on October 14, 2026.

Texas has several major home games at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin. The Longhorns host Texas State, Ohio State, UTSA, Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Arkansas during the 2026 regular season.

These home games give fans a strong mix of non-conference matchups, SEC opponents, and high-demand ticket games. The Ohio State, Florida, Ole Miss, and Arkansas games should be especially important for fans planning travel, parking, and tickets in advance.

The Longhorns’ road schedule includes trips to Tennessee, Missouri, LSU, and Texas A&M. Texas also plays Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, which remains the biggest neutral-site game on the schedule.

The Tennessee, LSU, and Texas A&M road games will be important tests because all three are difficult environments. The Texas A&M game also comes on a Friday night, which makes it one of the most important dates for fans to mark early.

The 2026 schedule includes 12 regular-season games. Texas opens with three straight home games before traveling to Tennessee for its first road game. The Longhorns then move into a heavy SEC stretch that includes Oklahoma, Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, LSU, Arkansas, and Texas A&M.

Fans should also note that some games are listed with TV windows instead of exact kickoff times. These windows are common in college football because networks often finalize game times closer to the matchup based on rankings, storylines, and broadcast selection.
