‘Tis the season for off-the-field news in college football, and we’ve got such a thing for you. According to a release from an Ohio State spokesman, the home-and-home series between the Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns in 2025 and 2026 have a minor change. No, the Longhorns aren’t backing out in fear, but rather something a little less noteworthy.
According to the release, the two programs have decided to flip which team is home for each year. So, instead of the game in 2025 being in Austin, it will now be in Columbus. That of course means the game in 2026 will now be an away contest for Ohio State in Darrell K Royal — Texas Memorial Stadium.
So, if you’re extremely motivated and organized, you might want to change any plans you’ve made. As for me, I’m just hoping to be alive when it all goes down.
Not much of a reason is given other than the fact that it benefits both teams, so we’ll go with that. So, it’ll be Ryan Day taking his team to play whoever is leading Texas out of the tunnel at that time.
Schedule change for @OhioStateFB: The Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns will flip-flop locations for the schools’ 2025 & 2026 games because it helps both schools to do so. Texas will now come to Columbus for a game on Aug. 30, 2025; Ohio State will play in Austin on Sept. 12, 2026.
