Texas Athletics announced that every home game at Darrell K Royal‑Texas Memorial Stadium during the 2026 season has been sold out, with general‑public tickets no longer available. The surge in demand reflects a fan base that continues to fill the 100,000‑plus capacity venue well before kickoff.
The upcoming schedule features seven home contests, beginning with non‑conference matchups against Texas State, Ohio State and UTSA, followed by SEC showdowns versus Florida, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, and concluding with a rivalry game against Arkansas. The marquee event is the Allstate Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma on October 10 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, where tickets are being distributed through SeatGeek.
A Schedule Packed with Ranked Opponents
Seven of the eight opponents on the Longhorns' slate appear in the AFCA Coaches Preseason Top‑25, underscoring the competitive nature of the season. This level of ranking highlights the program's momentum and the high expectations placed on Head Coach Steve Sarkisian as he prepares his squad for a demanding slate.
The sold‑out status marks the fifth consecutive season in which Texas has sold out its home games prior to the first whistle, a testament to the program's consistent on‑field performance and the enthusiastic response of Longhorn supporters. The atmosphere is expected to be electric, with more than 100,000 fans projected to attend each home game.
Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Athletics Director, emphasized the unique passion that defines the Texas fan experience, noting that the energy inside Darrell K Royal‑Texas Memorial Stadium is unmatched. He also reminded fans that they can register for future season‑ticket updates via the ticket interest form for the 2027 waitlist, ensuring continued engagement with the program.
