Texas A&M's men's basketball team is set to renew its rivalry with TCU in a rare home‑and‑home series that will span the next two seasons.
The first showdown will take place on November 19, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas, before the Aggies host the Horned Frogs in College Station during the 2027‑28 campaign.
A renewed rivalry
The series marks the first meeting between the programs in three decades, a timeline that stretches back to their last encounter in February 1996, when TCU edged a 91‑89 victory in College Station.
A month earlier that year, the Horned Frogs had secured an 80‑76 win in Fort Worth, underscoring the competitiveness of the matchup.
TCU's recent résumé adds extra intrigue: the Horned Frogs have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in four of the past five seasons, a streak that reflects their sustained excellence on the national stage.
The two schools have also crossed paths at neutral venues, including Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena and Houston’s Toyota Center in 2020 and 2021, further enriching a budding series.
Both Texas A&M University and Texas Christian University will leverage their athletic departments to promote the games, which are expected to draw significant attention from fans and media alike.
The upcoming series is more than a scheduling novelty; it represents a strategic effort by both coaches to test their squads against quality competition early in the season.
Ticket demand is already building, with early sales indicating strong interest from the Aggie and Horned Frog fan bases.
