AUSTIN, Texas – Kickoff times and television selections for four of Texas' contests in the 2019 season were released on Thursday.
The season opener against Louisiana Tech on Saturday, Aug. 31, will air on Longhorn Network at 7 p.m. CT, while CBS Sports Network (CBSSN) will air the road opener at Rice in NRG Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. CT.

The contest between Texas and Louisiana Tech will be the first ever meeting between the teams. The Longhorns will face Rice for the first time since 2015 and the first time at NRG Stadium since 2010. This will be the second-straight year Texas and Oklahoma will meet at 11 a.m. on FOX, while the Longhorns return home for Thanksgiving week after playing at Kansas last season. Two seasons ago, it was Texas Tech that Texas hosted during that week.
