Texas A&M hosts Missouri State for season opener at Kyle Field

Texas A&M opens its 2026 season at home against Missouri State on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Kyle Field. The Aggies enter the matchup ranked eighth in the AP poll following a 2025 campaign that included their first College Football Playoff appearance. Head coach Mike Elko leads the team as they look to improve on last year’s double-digit win total and address a lack of recent conference titles. Missouri State arrives with a new coaching staff, led by head coach Casey Woods, after making the transition to the FBS level last season. While Texas A&M focuses on this week’s opener, the team faces a challenging schedule ahead, including matchups against LSU, Alabama, and Texas. Players noted that the team aims to establish a consistent, high-level performance beginning with this initial non-conference game.
