TCU and Texas A&M Set for Historic Home‑and‑Home Basketball Series

The 166th meeting scheduled for Nov. 19, 2026 at Schollmaier Arena caps a resurgence for both programs

TCU and Texas A&M will meet on November 19, 2026 at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, marking the 166th edition of a rivalry that dates back to the early 20th century.

The contest inaugurates a home‑and‑home arrangement, with the Aggies traveling to College Station the following year, creating a rare two‑year stretch that underscores the renewed interest between the programs.

A Milestone Matchup

Texas A&M currently leads the all‑time series 88‑77, a record forged during their shared tenure in the Southwest Conference from 1924 to 1996, though TCU has won five of the last six meetings, including a four‑game streak that began in 2020.

The upcoming game will be the first time the Aggies have stepped onto the Horned Frogs’ home floor since January 31, 1996, a gap of nearly three decades that adds a narrative layer to the contest.

Both programs arrive with momentum. Texas A&M finished the previous season 22‑12 overall and 14‑4 in the SEC under first‑year head coach Bucky McMillan, only to see their run halted by a second‑round loss to Houston in the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, TCU, guided by Jamie Dixon in his 11th year, posted a 23‑12 record, went 11‑7 in Big 12 play and secured a fourth tournament appearance in five seasons.

Key contributors for the Frogs — Xavier Edmonds, Brock Harding, Micah Robinson and Tanner Toolson — are set to return, bolstering a roster that aims to extend its recent dominance.
