Texas and Michigan have mutually agreed on a location switch ahead of their home-and-home football series that was announced in 2014.
The home team seasons will be flipped with the Wolverines now hosting the Longhorns at Michigan Stadium on Sept. 7, 2024, and the return visit to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium set for Sept. 11, 2027.
These meetings bring together 2 of the winningest programs in NCAA history with Michigan ranking first in all-time wins with 989, while Texas is 5th with 936.
With the series shift and Texas now visiting Michigan in 2024, that contest will be televised by FOX, according to FBSchedules.com.
The only previous meeting between the two schools came in the 2005 Rose Bowl following the 2004 season. The two storied programs created a classic as Texas prevailed, 38-37, on Dusty Mangum’s 37-yard field goal as time expired. Vince Young accounted for 372 yards and five TDs, including 192 yards and four TDs on the ground, as the Longhorns won in their first BCS Bowl appearance to cap an 11-1 season.
