Texas Tech will host Sam Houston at Galaxy Stadium on Saturday, September 26, for their final non-conference game of the 2026 college football season. The 10th-ranked Red Raiders, holding a perfect 3-0 record, kick off at 11 a.m. Central Time, with the game airing nationally on TNT.
Texas Tech enters this match fresh off a narrow 28-26 victory over Houston last week, maintaining their unbeaten start. Sam Houston, meanwhile, has a 1-2 record after a commanding 59-0 win against Nicholls in their most recent outing. This clash offers Texas Tech a chance to solidify their momentum before heading into conference play.
The broadcast team for the game on TNT includes JB Long and Mike Golic Jr., with Allie Laforce reporting from the sideline. Fans can also stream the game live via Sling, though a subscription is required to access the service.
Texas Tech’s schedule so far has seen solid wins: a 33-10 victory over Abilene Christian on September 5, followed by a 35-24 win against Oregon State on September 12, and the close contest with Houston the week after. After this weekend’s game, the Red Raiders will face Colorado on the road on October 3 at 6:30 p.m.
Sam Houston’s 2026 campaign has been mixed, with their big win over Nicholls providing a highlight amid losses earlier in the season. The Bearkats will be looking to upset a ranked opponent on Texas Tech’s home turf.
Both teams will be keen to make an impression, with Texas Tech aiming to maintain their unbeaten streak and Sam Houston trying to bounce back and improve their standing. The game’s early kickoff time will have fans tuning in bright and early to catch the action.
This matchup rounds out Texas Tech’s non-conference schedule before the Red Raiders face a series of conference games, including clashes with Arizona State, Cincinnati, and Oklahoma State later in the season. The team’s performance Saturday will set the tone for the challenges ahead.
The latest confirmed details: kickoff at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, September 26, with TV coverage on TNT and streaming available through Sling.
