Which UTSA Roadrunners games are worth watching in 2026?
The September 19 road trip to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium against SEC member Texas is the biggest stage of the year — a Power Four opponent in front of a crowd exceeding 100,000, and the highest-profile non-conference game on the schedule. Broadcast on SEC Network+ at 8:00 PM ET, this contest represents UTSA's measuring stick against elite competition and sets the tone for head coach Jeff Traylor's season. The November 14 home game against North Texas carries extra significance as the annual in-state rivalry contest (the I-35 Rivalry), with ESPN+ or ESPN2 providing national coverage in one of the AAC's featured mid-season matchups.
The Alamodome hosts six games that define the AAC race. The season opener against UT Rio Grande Valley on September 5 kicks off the home slate at 3:30 PM ET on ESPN+, followed by two Thursday night ESPN broadcasts — South Florida (October 8 at 7:30 PM ET) and the road trip to Florida Atlantic (November 5 at 8:00 PM ET). Navy (October 17) and North Texas (November 14) carry flexible broadcast windows on ESPN+, ESPN2, or CBS Sports Network. The regular season concludes with a Black Friday or Saturday home finale against Tulsa (November 27/28), with the game likely earning ESPN+ or ABC placement. The Roadrunners also face crucial road tests at Tulane (October 24) and UAB (November 21) — both AAC contenders that have finished in the conference's upper tier in recent seasons. UTSA has no bye week in the 2026 regular season.
