TCU football now knows the kickoff time and TV information for its first and last games of the 2026 regular season.
The Horned Frogs will kick off the season against North Carolina at 11 a.m. Aug. 29 in Dublin (5 p.m. Ireland time) on ESPN, and TCU will take on defending Big 12 champion Texas Tech at 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day , Nov. 26, in Lubbock on ESPN.
TCU destroyed North Carolina 48-14 in last year’s season opener, ruining the college coaching debut of six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick.
The Horned Frogs did not play Texas Tech last season, but TCU defeated the Red Raiders 35-34 in 2024 at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
Times for the Horned Frogs’ other 10 regular-season games have not been released.
TCU season tickets are available starting at $325 for the seven games on GoFrogs.com.
