College football fans are counting down to another huge meeting between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns. The highly anticipated matchup is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, bringing two powerhouse programs together once again on a national stage.
The Buckeyes enter the matchup after opening their 2026 campaign with a dominant victory over Ball State. Ohio State will now face a much bigger challenge on the road, with the Longhorns eager to make their mark in front of a passionate home crowd.
Texas also made a strong statement in its season opener, defeating Texas State 59–7. Quarterback Arch Manning enters the matchup with plenty of confidence, while Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and star receiver Jeremiah Smith give the Buckeyes plenty of firepower of their own.
The game carries even more significance because of the recent history between these programs. Ohio State has won the last two meetings, including a 14–7 victory over Texas in 2025. Now, the Longhorns have another opportunity to change the story when the Buckeyes arrive in Austin.
For now, official schedules continue to list the showdown for September 12, with the game set for prime time in Austin and a national ABC broadcast. It promises to be one of the biggest early-season games in college football — a matchup where momentum, confidence and championship ambitions will all be on the line.
