The Texas Longhorns have added the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to their 2028 football schedule, it was announced on Thursday.
Texas will host Louisiana Tech at Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, Sept. 2, 2028, which will be the season-opener for both schools. The game will mark the second meeting between the two schools in football.
In their first meeting on the gridiron, the Longhorns defeated the Bulldogs, 45-14, in Austin in 2019.
Texas officially became a member of the SEC on July 1, 2024 after competing in the Big 12 Conference since 1996. The Longhorns played their first SEC matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at home on Saturday, Sept. 28, winning 35-13.
As it stands now, Texas has one other non-conference opponent scheduled for the 2028 season. The Longhorns are slated to host the UTSA Roadrunners on Sept. 16 in Austin. If the SEC opts to move to a nine-game conference schedule beginning in 2026, Texas will need to schedule only one additional opponent.
Louisiana Tech, who competes in Conference USA, has tentatively completed its non-league slate in 2028. The Bulldogs’ schedule that season also includes road contests against the North Texas Mean Green on Sept. 9 and the San Diego State Aztecs on Sept. 23. In between those two games is a home tilt against the Kansas Jayhawks on Sept. 16 at Joe Aillet Stadium in Ruston, La.

Why would anybody ever again read another story by this “sportswriter” who is too stupid to even check the spelling of the name of UT’s football stadium?
Wow, I missed one ‘L’. Have a good day, Mr. Perfection.
Really? This is a very thorough website as far as all the scheduling stuff and they do some cool things with history and stats, but itâs clearly not some big time operation. He made a typo or didnât look up the spelling for a stadium whose name he has in his memory. Thatâs worth posting that heâs âtoo stupidââŚ? Feels like an unnecessarily overblown response.
Thanks Jeff. And I’ll add that spellcheck doesn’t cover Darrel or Darrell, because both are acceptable spellings of that name.
Interesting this guy calling you out for a spelling error when he clearly left off the silent P that precedes the R in his name.
Nice
Seems like this means that Texas is looking at who their âmarqueeâ non-conference opponent will be for 2028 & 2029âŚ? Will be interested to see who they get after the interlocking Michigan/Ohio State/Ohio State/Michigan series!
Will it be another Big 10 power team? With buzz about a possible scheduling partnership between the 2 top conferences popping up, that seems possible (although, would such an alliance focus on trying to match top teams with top teams? Or would it mean rotating through to where you might get Ohio State one year and Northwestern the next� Also, does this mean that the odds of Texas ever getting its first game against Florida State or Clemson⌠or having any Big 12 rivalry renewed⌠become far more remote?
Originally those 2 years had Georgia on Texasâ schedule (before they were going to be in the same conference) so hopefully itâll be a big name. Oregon? Penn State? Maybe USC (though it wasnât that long ago Texas played them last).
