Saturday’s Texas at Tennessee game kicks off at 11 a.m. CT on ABC from Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. Texas’ game notes list Chris Fowler on play-by-play, Kirk Herbstreit as the analyst, and Holly Rowe as the reporter.
ESPN’s College GameDay is on the Tennessee campus for the game. The Texas notes put the show on from 8 to 11 a.m. CT, with Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, and Herbstreit among the hosts. A University of Tennessee note says the set is on the lawn of Ayres Hall and that the last hour moves inside Neyland before the noon Eastern kickoff. That same note says stadium gates open at 9:30 a.m. Eastern.
Radio
The Longhorn Radio Network, through Learfield, has the local call. The game notes list Craig Way on play-by-play, Roger Wallace as the analyst, and Will Matthews as the reporter.
The Spanish broadcast on that network is Cadena Deportiva. The notes list Dr. Rubén Pizarro-Silva and Raul Saenz, and Texas says those calls are on texaslonghorns.com and the Longhorn Network app.
Compass Media Networks has the national radio call, with Gregg Daniels on play-by-play and Tiki Barber as the analyst.
Who is 3-0
The same game-notes sheet lists both teams at 3-0 and 0-0 in the SEC. It lists Texas No. 1 in the AP, coaches, and CFP rankings, and Tennessee No. 14/13. Steve Sarkisian is listed in his sixth year at Texas with a 51-20 record there. Josh Heupel is listed in his sixth year at Tennessee with a 48-20 record there.
Saturday is the first Texas game ever played at Neyland. The teams have met three times before, all at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, and Texas leads 2-1. The full series and the three 2026 results are in the desk preview.
