The Mean Green have unveiled a lineup of creative themes that will frame their 2026 home schedule, turning each contest into a distinct experience for students, alumni and the broader Denton community.
The season opens on September 12 against UNLV with a "Denton Desert" motif, kicking off at 2:45 p.m. Fans are encouraged to sport "Desert Scrappy" t‑shirts, adding a visual flair that ties the team to the local landscape.
Family Weekend and Mid‑Week Highlights
A week later, on September 26, the university will host Family Weekend for the game versus Houston Christian, inviting families to enjoy a weekend of football and campus activities. Later in the month, the October 10 matchup with Charlotte adopts the "Jammin' at DATCU" theme, promising a lively atmosphere for attendees.
The only mid‑week home game of the year arrives on October 29 when Florida Atlantic visits, followed by the traditional homecoming contest on November 7 against Rice. The final regular‑season home game on November 28 will feature a Salute to Service tribute and a Senior Day ceremony honoring the graduating class before the showdown with UAB.
