The Longhorns will now host the Wolverines a week earlier than originally planned, with the game taking place on August 28, 2027, instead of September 4. This adjustment comes as part of a broader shift in the college football season schedule, approved by the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee. The new season will begin one week earlier, with Week Zero replaced by an opening week for games.
In addition to the Michigan game, four other Texas home games scheduled for the next two years will also be moved up by a week. The matchup against New Mexico State at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium will now be played on August 28, 2027, while the game against UTEP is set for September 11. The home game against Louisiana Tech, originally scheduled for 2028, has been moved to August 26.
