Texas A&M’s 2025 Football Schedule Highlights Renewed Rivalry with Texas
Texas A&M’s 2025 football season is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated in recent memory, highlighted by the renewal of its storied rivalry with the University of Texas. For the first time since 2010, the Aggies and Longhorns will clash in Austin in a primetime matchup scheduled for Friday, November 28. The announcement has reignited excitement across the state and among college football fans nationwide.
The matchup marks the return of the “Lone Star Showdown” to Thanksgiving weekend, where it historically belonged. The rivalry was put on hold after Texas A&M joined the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 2012, but with Texas set to officially join the SEC this season, the two powerhouse programs are now conference opponents once again.
In addition to the marquee matchup against Texas, Texas A&M’s 2025 schedule features several high-stakes SEC games, including contests against Alabama, LSU, and Georgia. The Aggies will open their season with a non-conference game at home, giving Coach Mike Elko and his staff a chance to test their young roster early.
For many fans, the renewed rivalry is more than just another game. It’s about pride, tradition, and bragging rights that stretch across generations of alumni. The anticipation is already evident, with ticket prices soaring and national networks lining up for broadcast rights.
Athletic Director Trev Alberts emphasized the importance of the matchup: “This is more than football. It’s a cultural moment for our university and our state.”
The 2025 season will test the Aggies on multiple fronts, but it also offers a chance to make a national statement. With the eyes of the college football world watching, Texas A&M hopes to prove that it’s not only a contender in the SEC, but also a flagship of the new era in college football rivalries.
