Looking at the Florida-Texas series history spanning nearly 100 years
Florida football looks for its first road victory over the Texas Longhorns. Here's a look at the series history spanning nearly 100 years.
Florida will face Texas on Saturday for their sixth all-time matchup, marking the third consecutive season the teams have played each other. Texas holds a 3-1-1 series advantage over Florida, despite both programs boasting more than a century of history. Their first encounter took place in October 1924, resulting in a 7-7 tie in Texas.
The Longhorns dominated the subsequent two meetings, shutting out Florida 12-0 in 1939 and 26-0 in 1940. It wasn't until 2008, when Texas joined the Southeastern Conference, that the series resumed. In their most recent meeting at Austin's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Texas dominated Florida 49-17, accumulating 562 yards of offense while Florida managed just 329.
However, Florida broke through against Texas in 2025, securing a 29-21 victory at home, marking their first win in the series since 2025 and ending a three-game losing streak dating back 86 years. A win for Florida in this Saturday's matchup could potentially bring the program back into the College Football Playoff picture.
