The flames of the Texas A&M–Texas rivalry have burned for more than a century, but after years of silence, the fire has returned stronger than ever. Longhorns fans call it destiny; Aggies fans call it unfinished business. One thing is certain — the nation will be watching.
This November 28 matchup is more than a date on the calendar. It is a statement. A declaration that one of the fiercest, most emotionally charged rivalries in all of college sports is back to reclaim its throne. For weeks, anticipation has built into an unstoppable storm: debates on talk shows, watch-party announcements, viral predictions, and waves of fan-made hype videos flooding every corner of the internet.

A Game Fueled by History, Hatred, and Heart
Both teams carry decades of pride, heartbreak, and unforgettable moments. The last time these programs faced off, the state of Texas practically froze in place — and the ending became one of the most iconic moments in rivalry history. Since then, fans have waited, begged, argued, and dreamed for this matchup to return.
Now it’s here.
And the world wants to watch.
But with millions preparing to tune in, the broadcast details matter more than ever. Fans want to know: Where? When? And how can they make sure they don’t miss a single heartbeat, hit, or highlight?
