After the annual Orange/White game and fan day were cancelled in 2025, the program officially announced that it's back on for 2026 and is currently scheduled for April 18th.

This is incredibly exciting for Longhorn Nation as it's been a customary event for so many years. One of the biggest reasons why it's back is due to the fact that the NCAA no longer has the spring transfer window, which caused problems for both scheduling and scholarship purposes.

Not only will it be incredibly exciting for fans, but it's going to be extremely important for the team to be able to practice in an environment like that so early in the year.

Aside from the simple fact that there are so many new faces on this season's team, there are going to be quite a few position battles taking place throughout the spring that could be won or lost in an event like the spring game.

Follow along as we update y'all with more info, as the time of the game is still TBD. We hope to see everybody there!
