The kickoff times and the broadcast networks have been announced for six games of the Texas Longhorns 2025 football schedule.
We’ve known for a week that the Longhorns season opener on Aug. 30 at the Horseshoe in Columbus, OH would be the 2025 debut of Big Noon Saturday on Fox Sports. The Cotton Bowl rematch is the premier game in week one of the college football season will start at 11 a.m. Austin time.
Of course, Ohio State and Fox Sports asked Texas for permission to move the game to Sunday night. The Longhorns athletic department denied that request. “Why would I want to move the game to Sunday night and have a short week? I’ve got to go to church,” Del Conte said Wednesday, citing concerns over recovery time and personal priorities.
The rest of the first half of the schedule is now public. Texas will host San Jose State on Sept. 6 on ABC. The game will also start at 11am.
UTEP will be the Longhorns next opponent. The Miners will visit Austin on Sept. 13 at 3 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.
Sam Houston State will be Texas’ fourth game. The Bearkats game will be at night, starting at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN+.
Texas’ SEC schedule kicks off with the Red River Shootout in Dallas. The game at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park will start at 2:30 p.m. CT and will air on ABC.
Finally, the Lone Star Showdown against Texas A&M will take place on Nov. 28 at 6:30 p.m. CT. The Longhorns will host the Aggies for the first time in 15 years.
