Longhorn football kicks off Sept. 3

 

Another season of University of Texas football begins Sept. 3 as the Longhorns take on the University of Louisiana-Monroe at 7 p.m., the first of three consecutive home games to begin the season.

The Longhorns, who come into the season unranked for the first time since 2016, will host No. 1 Alabama on Sept. 10 at 11 a.m., followed by a matchup against the University of Texas-San Antonio on Sept. 17 at 7 p.m.

Roads in the campus area, including parts of Dean Keeton Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, will be closed on gameday to safely accommodate the crowds around the stadium. You can find a map of the closures at the City’s website.

If you are planning to attend a game, the best way to get there is by taking the bus or riding your bike. CapMetro bus service is free for UT students, faculty and staff with a valid school ID, and multiple routes serve the UT campus with frequent service. Use CapMetro’s trip planner to find the route that works best for you.

You can also rent a MetroBike to get to the tailgate and the game. Multiple stations are located across campus, including one just north of Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at the intersection of 23rd Street and San Jacinto Boulevard.
