Texas football will play seven home games in Darryl K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in 2026.

Texas Athletics announced today that all first-hand tickets for this season’s home games are officially sold out.

(Don’t worry, there will be plenty of second-hand, relatively affordable second-hand options all season long.)

From Texas Athletics:

“The sellout continues the incredible momentum surrounding the program … and marks the fifth consecutive season that Texas fans have sold out DKR well before the opening kickoff of the season. While tickets available to the general public are sold out, returning and incoming UT students can still purchase the Big Ticket with Football student ticket package, providing access to 100+ Texas Athletics regular season home events during the 2026-27 season. Student tickets for football home games must be claimed during each game’s mobile ticket claim process.”

Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte chimed in, too.

“Longhorn Nation continues to set the standard,” Del Conte said in a news release. “Selling out our home schedule before the season begins speaks to the unmatched passion of our fans and the special atmosphere they create every time the Horns take the field. There’s nothing like a football Saturday in Austin, and we can’t wait to welcome more than 100,000 of our closest friends and family back to DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium.”
