American football game between the Texas Longhorns and the Florida Gators at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium.
Texas takes on Florida at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday, October 17, with kickoff at 11 AM. It's a morning game, so you'll be out of the stadium and back in the city by mid-afternoon.
If you've been following the Longhorns lately, this one fits into a pattern. Texas is playing Florida for a third straight season, a stretch that's starting to look like a regular fixture on the schedule. It's a matchup that's been framed as a modern SEC rivalry—Gators versus Longhorns—and it's taking a different shape than the program's older ties with the Volunteers. That three-year run is the kind of thing that usually invites comparisons to the state's more traditional rivalries, the ones that have defined Texas football for generations.

For this one, the Longhorns are at home. The game is at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, 2139 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin, TX 78712. It's a Saturday morning kickoff, so the action starts early. If you're planning to be there, you'll want to account for the 11 AM start time—it's a bit earlier than your typical college game, and it means the whole thing wraps up while most people are just getting their Saturday started.
