Texas Southern Tigers Football Schedule

HOUSTON - The complete 2025 football schedule for the Texas Southern Tigers, including dates, times (TBA), locations, opponents, and notes on special games or tournaments. We will update the times as soon as they are announced by the HBCU football team.

"Our goals remain the same," Coach Cris Dishman told HBCU Legends. "Beat the school up north [Prairie View A&M], win the SWAC, win the West [division], and go to Atlanta." When he speaks of Atlanta, he's referring to becoming the SWAC representatives in the 2025 Celebration Bowl in December."
