🚨 TEXAS LONGHORNS UPDATE: Texas Longhorns full 2026–27 television schedule is out, giving Longhorns fans an early look at when and where to watch every game this season.

 

Texas Longhorns fans now have another reason to get excited about the upcoming college football season. The full 2026–27 Texas Longhorns television schedule is out, giving supporters an early opportunity to plan their Saturdays around one of the most anticipated teams in the country. With Texas entering another demanding season in the SEC, every game carries significance, and the television schedule provides fans with a clearer picture of when they can watch the Longhorns take the field.

 

The excitement begins on September 5, when Texas opens its season at home against Texas State. The Longhorns enter the matchup ranked No. 5 nationally, setting the tone for what could be a season filled with enormous expectations. For fans across Austin, throughout the state of Texas and around the country, the opener represents the first opportunity to see how the Longhorns have developed during the offseason and how prepared they are for another run through the SEC.

 

 

 

 

The schedule quickly becomes more challenging. On September 12, Texas welcomes the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes to Austin for one of the biggest early-season games on the college football calendar. The matchup immediately stands out because of the national rankings attached to both programs. With Ohio State entering as the nation’s top-ranked team and Texas sitting at No. 5, the game has all the ingredients of a heavyweight showdown.

 

That contest is expected to attract enormous attention from college football fans nationwide. For Texas supporters, it could also provide an early indication of whether the Longhorns have the talent and consistency necessary to compete for the biggest prizes of the season. The opportunity to play such a highly ranked opponent at home makes the September 12 game particularly important.

 

Texas then returns to action against UTSA on September 19. Although the matchup may not carry the same national spotlight as the Ohio State game, it remains an important part of the early-season schedule. It gives the Longhorns another opportunity to build momentum before beginning a stretch of conference games that could ultimately determine their postseason ambitions.

 

 

 

On September 26, Texas travels to face the Tennessee Volunteers. The road trip to Knoxville presents an entirely different challenge. Tennessee is ranked No. 20, and playing in that environment could test Texas in several areas. The Longhorns will need to handle the atmosphere, maintain discipline and execute consistently against a ranked SEC opponent.

 

The intensity continues into October. On October 10, Texas faces Oklahoma in one of college football’s most recognizable rivalries. The Red River rivalry remains one of the defining events on the Longhorns’ annual calendar, and its importance has only grown as both programs compete in the SEC. Texas enters the contest ranked No. 5, while Oklahoma is ranked No. 10, creating another matchup featuring two nationally ranked teams.

 

For fans, the Oklahoma game is about much more than rankings. It is a rivalry game carrying years of history, tradition and emotion. Every possession can become significant, and the outcome can shape the direction of the season for both programs.

 

Texas returns home on October 17 to face Florida. The Gators bring another SEC challenge to Austin, giving the Longhorns little room for complacency after the demanding Oklahoma matchup. A week later, Texas hosts No. 9 Ole Miss on October 24. With Ole Miss entering the season among the nation’s top teams, that game could become another major test for the Longhorns.

 

The October schedule concludes with Mississippi State visiting Austin on October 31. Halloween weekend will provide Texas fans with another opportunity to fill the stadium and support the Longhorns during a critical portion of the season. By that point, the shape of the SEC race could already be becoming clearer, making every conference victory increasingly valuable.

 

November brings an even more demanding stretch. Texas travels to face No. 25 Missouri on November 7 before heading to Baton Rouge for a November 14 showdown with No. 11 LSU. Those consecutive road games could test the Longhorns’ depth, preparation and ability to perform away from home.

 

The LSU matchup is particularly intriguing because of the history and atmosphere surrounding games in Baton Rouge. Facing a ranked LSU team on the road late in the season could have major implications for Texas, especially if the Longhorns remain in contention for the SEC Championship and the College Football Playoff.

 

Texas then returns home on November 21 to face Arkansas. The Razorbacks will provide another conference test before the regular season reaches its dramatic conclusion.

 

The final scheduled regular-season game arrives on November 27, when Texas travels to face Texas A&M. The Lone Star State rivalry has become one of the most anticipated fixtures on the calendar, and its placement at the end of the regular season adds another layer of importance. With both programs competing in the SEC, the matchup has the potential to attract national attention and serve as a fitting finale to Texas’ regular-season campaign.

 

For Longhorns fans, the release of the television schedule means planning can begin well before kickoff. Whether watching from home, gathering with friends, attending watch parties or making plans around the biggest road games, supporters now have a clearer view of the season ahead.

 

The schedule also highlights just how difficult the path will be for Texas. The Longhorns face Ohio State, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Missouri, LSU and Texas A&M, among other opponents, creating a demanding combination of ranked teams, rivalry games and difficult road environments.

 

With Texas beginning the season ranked No. 5, expectations will be extremely high. The Longhorns are no longer simply trying to establish themselves among the nation’s elite. They are entering the season with the pressure that comes with being viewed as a legitimate championship contender.

 

For fans, however, the immediate focus is much simpler: football is coming back. The television schedule provides the dates and times supporters have been waiting for, and the countdown to the opening kickoff against Texas State has officially begun. From the first September Saturday to the rivalry showdown with Texas A&M in November, the 2026–27 season promises to give Longhorns fans plenty of opportunities to follow their team.

 

Now, the waiting begins. The games are scheduled, the matchups are set, and Texas is preparing for another season under the national spotlight. For Longhorn Nation, every Saturday is about to become appointment television.
