Texas coach Steve Sarkisian confirms Michigan game remains on future schedule
Summary

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian stated on Wednesday that the Longhorns will play Michigan during the 2027 season. The assurance follows reports from fbsschedules.com that Michigan had adjusted its schedule to include a game against Eastern Michigan on the date originally reserved for the Texas-Michigan matchup in Austin. Sarkisian attributed potential scheduling fluctuations to a recent NCAA rule change that shifts the start of most seasons to Week 0, which has impacted various kickoff dates. Texas holds a 3-0 record against the Wolverines, with past victories in the 2005 Rose Bowl, the 2024 season, and the 2025 Citrus Bowl. While the exact date for the 2027 contest remains uncertain, the coach confirmed the game will occur at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
