Texas A&M's full 2026 schedule is out, and it’s built for noise. Big home games, brutal road trips, and Texas back in Kyle Field to close it.
Texas A&M's 2025 season may still be officially unfinished, but the focus in College Station is already shifting forward. The Aggies now have clarity on what lies ahead, as the full 2026 football schedule has been released, setting the stage for a pivotal year under head coach Mike Elko.
The 2026 campaign will mark Elko's third season at the helm and the first with new offensive and defensive coordinators. It also brings added continuity at the most important position on the field.

Quarterback Marcel Reed enters his second full season as the Aggies' starter after a breakout 2025 that produced an 11-1 record, a No. 7 seed in the College Football Playoff, and a historic first CFP home game at Kyle Field against Miami.
That momentum now carries directly into a schedule that blends opportunity with punishment.
Texas A&M opens the season with back-to-back home games, welcoming Missouri State and Arizona State to Kyle Field before beginning SEC play at home against Kentucky. From there, the grind arrives quickly.
The Aggies head to Baton Rouge for the second straight season to face LSU, followed by a stretch that includes Arkansas, Missouri, and a non-conference matchup with The Citadel.
The road slate stiffens dramatically late in the year with trips to Alabama, South Carolina, and Oklahoma, before everything culminates where the 12th Man wants it most.
For the third consecutive season, Texas A&M will close its regular season with the Lone Star Showdown against Texas.

This time, the rivalry returns to Kyle Field. After back-to-back losses to the Longhorns, the Aggies will have a chance to flip the narrative in front of the home crowd, with postseason implications almost certainly on the line.
If 2025 proved Texas A&M could belong in the College Football Playoff conversation, 2026 is structured to test whether the Aggies can stay there. With Marcel Reed leading the offense, Elko settling deeper into his program, and marquee games stacked across the calendar, the path is clear. The only question now is how far the Aggies can push it.
