Texas softball opens a six-game fall schedule with five free home dates before a Nov. 6 road finale against rival Texas A&M in College Station.
Texas softball isn’t easing into life as a back-to-back national champion.
The Longhorns have announced a six-game 2026 fall softball schedule that gives fans five free chances to see the reigning Women’s College World Series champions at McCombs Field before Texas closes the fall with a rivalry trip to Texas A&M.
The final game comes Nov. 6 at Davis Diamond in College Station, giving Mike White’s program an early look at one of its most important SEC rivals.
Texas opens Sept. 29 against Murray State College at 6 p.m. CT, then hosts Texas State on Oct. 13, Temple College on Oct. 20 and McLennan Community College on Oct. 27.
The home portion wraps Oct. 29 against UTSA, with Texas’ official schedule listing that game at 6 p.m. CT, not 7 p.m. as some early listings indicated. All five home fall games are free to attend.
The biggest attraction, though, comes at the end.
Texas travels to Texas A&M on Nov. 6 for a 7 p.m. matchup at Davis Diamond, adding another chapter to a rivalry that has only become more meaningful since the Longhorns joined the SEC.
And Texas enters that fall finale with championship credibility few programs can match.
The Longhorns finished 53-12 in 2026, won their second straight national title and swept Texas Tech in the WCWS Championship Series, 7-3 and 4-1. Texas also posted its third consecutive 50-win season and went 11-2 in the NCAA Tournament.
After losing its WCWS opener to Tennessee, Texas responded by winning six straight games in Oklahoma City to repeat as champion.
Teagan Kavan added another piece of history by becoming the first two-time WCWS Most Outstanding Player, while Citlaly Gutierrez earned the win in the title-clinching 4-1 victory over Texas Tech. Kavan also recorded the save in that championship game.
The coaching staff’s dominance was recognized too. White and his assistants were named the NFCA National Coaching Staff of the Year for the second straight season.
Fall softball won’t carry championship stakes, but for Texas, it will offer something almost as interesting: the first glimpse at how a dynasty plans to reload.
And ending the schedule in College Station guarantees the fall won’t finish quietly.
