The Southeastern Conference has officially set the kickoff times for a handful of Texas Longhorns contests that will punctuate the upcoming college football season, giving fans a clearer picture of when they can tune in to watch their team in action.
Key Matchups
The marquee UT‑UT showdown against Tennessee is slated for September 26 at 11 a.m., while the iconic Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma will unfold on October 10 at 2:30 p.m. Both games are confirmed for broadcast on either ABC or ESPN, ensuring wide‑reach coverage for viewers across the country.
Although the schedule for six additional Longhorns games remains undecided, the conference has indicated that those contests will be spread across early‑morning, afternoon and evening windows, allowing flexibility to accommodate television contracts and stadium logistics.
Specific windows have already been assigned for a few of those games: the matchup with Florida and the contest against Missouri are earmarked for early‑day slots, the Arkansas game will take place in the afternoon, and the Halloween night clash with Mississippi State is set for an evening start. Meanwhile, the games versus Ole Miss and LSU carry a ‘flex’ designation, meaning they could be positioned either in the afternoon or evening depending on final scheduling decisions.
The announcements underscore the SEC’s effort to balance competitive storytelling with the practicalities of broadcasting, and they set the stage for a season that promises plenty of high‑stakes moments for the Longhorns and their supporters.
