2026 Texas A&M Football
Head coach Mike Elko enters 2026 on the strength of a breakout 2025 campaign that saw the Aggies finish 11-2 and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history. Elko, who signed a six-year, $11 million-per-year deal, has quickly built Texas A&M into a legitimate SEC contender. The 2026 schedule opens with three straight home games – Missouri State, Arizona State, and Kentucky – giving the Aggies a strong foundation before diving into conference play.
Texas A&M’s bye week falls on October 31, providing a critical rest window before a grueling November that includes road games at South Carolina and Oklahoma sandwiched around a home date with Tennessee. The regular season closes at Kyle Field on November 27 against Texas in what should once again be one of the marquee rivalries in the SEC. A strong finish would keep the Aggies in College Football Playoff contention heading into bowl season.
