TCU's 2026 season
The season finishes away at Texas Tech on Nov 26. The tightest turnaround is 2 games in seven days, from Oct 31 to Nov 6.
The non-conference games are against North Carolina on Aug 29, Grambling on Sep 12, Arkansas State on Sep 19. Those opponents are not in the Big 12, so they do not appear as rows on the conference grid — a cell naming one carries a dotted underline there to say so. They are part of this team's season all the same, which is why they are on the grid at all rather than left as blank weeks.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. A Saturday-evening game in the United States is the small hours of Sunday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. 4 of these games have no confirmed kick-off time yet and show a “?” rather than a guess. To see how TCU's season compares with the rest of the conference — who has the harder stretch, and whose non-conference run is heaviest — the full Big 12 grid puts all 16 teams side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When does TCU play next?
TCU's next game is away at Baylor on Oct 17. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
How many games does TCU play in 2026?
12 regular-season games: 8 at home (7 at Amon G. Carter Stadium, 1 at Aviva Stadium) and 4 away, from Aug 29 to Nov 26. 9 are against Big 12 opponents and 3 are not. Conference championship games, bowls and the College Football Playoff are not included.
Who does TCU play outside the Big 12 in 2026?
3 games: North Carolina on Aug 29, Grambling on Sep 12, Arkansas State on Sep 19. Those opponents are not in the Big 12, so they have no row of their own on the conference grid — they are marked there with a dotted underline, and named in full on this page.
Why do some of TCU's games have no kick-off time?
Because the networks have not chosen it yet. 4 of 12 games have a date but no confirmed time; college football kick-offs are fixed a week or two ahead, and a game can still move to a different day. Those carry a "?" instead of a time, because a placeholder you could not tell from a real time would be worse than none.
Does TCU play at a neutral site in 2026?
Yes — one game: Aviva Stadium on Aug 29. A neutral venue shows no stadium clock in the game details, because its timezone is not the home team's.
What time do TCU's games start in my timezone?
Every confirmed kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. College football is published in US Eastern time, so a Saturday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Sunday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
