Texas adjusts football schedule for upcoming non-conference games
Summary

The Texas Longhorns have announced schedule changes for four non-conference football games across the next two seasons. The adjustments follow the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee decision to implement a Week Zero start for the college football calendar beginning in 2027. Texas will now host Michigan on September 4 of next season rather than the previously scheduled September 11 date. The 2027 season opener against New Mexico State is set for August 28, with the UTEP matchup moving to September 11. Additionally, the Longhorns are scheduled to begin their 2028 season against Louisiana Tech on August 26. These updates reflect broader adjustments to the program's future non-conference commitments while other previously announced matchups remain on the team’s current schedule.
