The 2026 Texas Longhorns football team will represent the University of Texas at Austin as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2026 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The season will be the Longhorns's 133rd overall season, and 3rd as a member of the SEC. The team is expected to be led by Steve Sarkisian in his sixth year as their head coach.
The year prior the Longhorns entered the 2025 season as the consensus preseason number 1 team, but losses to Ohio State, Florida, and Georgia kept them from the College Football Playoff. They finished ranked 12th in the final AP poll after a 10–3 finish and Citrus Bowl victory over Michigan. Notable players from the 2025 team who are expected to return in 2026 include Citrus Bowl MVP and quarterback Arch Manning, second-team All-SEC wide receiver Ryan Wingo, first-team All-American return specialist Ryan Niblett, first-team All-SEC defensive end Colin Simmons, and first-team All-SEC offensive tackle Trevor Goosby.
The team will play its home games at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.
