The Texas Longhorns are working to cancel the home-and-home series against the Arizona State Wildcats in 2032 and 2033, according to a Tuesday report from Sun Devils Digest.
The game were originally scheduled in 2016, before
current athletics director Chris Del Conte was hired from TCU, before Texas moved to the SEC, and before the expansion of the College Football Playoff.
The decision by Texas athletics director Chris Del Donte is the first non-conference series impacted by the SEC moving to a nine-game conference schedule and the Longhorns missing the playoff for the first time in three years in large part due to the non-conference loss to the Buckeyes to start the 2025 season.
Del Conte has said publicly that Texas will honor its commitments to playing Ohio State and Michigan at home over the next two seasons, but left open the possibility of canceling future non-conference matchups to best position the Horns for postseason opportunities.
So Tuesday’s news also puts into peril the home-and-home series that Texas has scheduled against Notre Dame in 2027 and 2028.
