A Season of Varied Costs
The University of Texas announced its 2026 football slate, revealing a mix of home, away and neutral‑site contests that will test both the team’s depth and fans’ wallets.
Kicking off on September 5 against Texas State, the Longhorns will travel to four road venues, host seven home games and play a neutral‑site matchup, shaping a demanding campaign.
Ticket pricing varies widely, with an overall average of $261.16 per game, but the financial stakes differ dramatically depending on the opponent.
Ticket Price Extremes
The marquee clash against Ohio State tops the list at $562 per ticket, making it the most expensive game of the season, while the season‑ending showdown with Texas A&M follows at $525.
In contrast, the non‑conference game versus UTSA offers the lowest price point at $93, providing a more affordable option for younger fans and families.
What This Means for Fans
These price differentials reflect both the prestige of certain opponents and the logistical considerations of hosting neutral‑site events, prompting discussions among alumni and student groups about accessibility and the overall value of the game‑day experience.
