The Texas Longhorns, along with the Oklahoma Sooners, have revealed their football schedule for next season as they both transition to the SEC for the first time.
Texas’ decision to join the SEC gave the Longhorns a path to even more prominence as a program and they have a lot of heavy hitters coming up. While the 2023 season is still playing out for Steve Sarkisian’s squad, the release of the 2024 SEC schedule gives fans a chance to look ahead to the future.
Before Texas competes for a national championship in the College Football Playoff, here’s a look at how the program’s 2024 schedule breaks down.
The Longhorns open the 2024 season on Aug. 31 hosting Colorado State and begin the first season of SEC play at home on Sept. 28 versus Mississippi State. Games against Georgia and Florida highlight the first home SEC slate while a trip to Nashville is the longest conference road trip.
In November, they will have road games to Arkansas and Texas A&M.
For Oklahoma, they have non-conference games against Temple, Houston, Tulane, and Maine and then will play conference games against eight schools, including Texas (in Dallas) on Oct. 12, Alabama on Nov. 23, and LSU on Nov. 30.
OU is facing off with Tennessee in their first game in the SEC on September 21, 2024.
