Texas Techannounced Friday that it has agreed to a 15-year naming rights deal with Galaxy, which will change the name of its football venue from Jones AT&T Stadium to Galaxy Stadium.

"We're pleased to welcome Galaxy as the new naming rights partner of our football stadium," said director of athletics Kirby Hocutt. "When I visit with alumni across the country, the conversation almost always turns to their favorite memories inside our stadium. We look forward to creating many more of those moments together in Galaxy Stadium, one of the premier home-field environments in college football. This long-term partnership with Galaxy will have a lasting impact on Texas Tech Athletics."

The agreement will also provide NIL opportunities for Texas Tech student-athletes through branded campaigns and other avenues.

The deal marks Galaxy's continuing efforts to build out its presence in West Texas, where the technology and financial company has a flagship data center in Dickens County.

2026 will be the first time in almost 80 years that Texas Tech's football stadium won't have the name Jones in its official moniker.
