Get ready for an exciting announcement, Longhorn Nation!
Texas Football's Spring Game and Fan Day: A Much-Anticipated Event
Athletic Director Chris Del Conte has revealed that Texas will be hosting a spring football game on April 18th, 2026. This news comes as a treat for all Texas fans, especially after the team opted out of a spring game in 2025 due to transfer window considerations.
But here's where it gets interesting... Del Conte has combined this event with 'Texas Fan Day', creating an action-packed weekend for the Longhorn faithful. And if that wasn't enough, Texas Baseball will also be taking on Alabama that very afternoon!
Del Conte, after a lunch conversation with head coach Steve Sarkisian, is excited to give this unique format a try. He exclaimed, "We're going to give it a go!" leaving fans eager to see how this innovative idea unfolds.
Mark your calendars, folks! This will be the first time the 2026 Horns get to showcase their talent in front of the passionate Texas crowd. You'll get to witness returning stars, new transfers, and potential future starters all in one go.
The last spring game, held on April 20th, 2024, gave fans a glimpse of future stars like Arch Manning. Manning put up impressive numbers that day, throwing for 255 yards and two touchdowns. Now, he and his teammates will have the chance to return to the iconic Darrel K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in the spring.
While specific timings for Fan Day and the game are yet to be announced, the anticipation is building. This event promises to be a memorable one, offering a unique blend of football, community, and Longhorn pride.
