In this story:

The 2026 Texas A&M football season arrives with plenty of questions, but also an intriguing opportunity. The Aggies have the talent to make noise in the SEC, yet their schedule leaves little room for an extended slump.

With several high-profile matchups and tough conference road trips on the slate, every game could play a role in determining whether Texas A&M is competing for a championship or settling for another solid-but-unspectacular season.

So, what will Texas A&M’s 2026 record actually look like? Here’s a game-by-game prediction for every matchup.

Predicting Every Game on the 2026 Texas Schedule

Week 1: Sept. 5 vs. Missouri State

Texas A&M should get off to a comfortable start against Missouri State. The Aggies have a significant talent advantage and will be playing in front of a Kyle Field home crowd. This should be an opportunity for the offense to find its rhythm while younger players get valuable end-of-game snaps.

Prediction: Texas A&M 45, Missouri State 7

Win (1-0)

Week 2: Sept. 12 vs. Arizona State

Arizona State is a much more interesting challenge. The Sun Devils provide the Aggies with a legitimate early-season test, and the 11 a.m. kickoff could create an unusual atmosphere in College Station. Still, if the Aggies avoid turnovers, they should have enough talent to win.

Prediction: Texas A&M 27, Arizona State 17

Win (2-0)

Week 3: Sept. 19 vs. Kentucky

 Kentucky Wildcats

Kentucky arrives in College Station for Texas A&M's first SEC game. This is exactly the type of matchup the Aggies were hoping to get first on their SEC gauntlet. Texas A&M should be more physical at the line of scrimmage and benefit from playing at home, resulting in a victory.

Prediction: Texas A&M 31, Kentucky 14

Win (3-0)

Week 4: Sept. 26 at No. 11 LSU

This is the first major road test of the season. LSU's home-field advantage in Death Valley makes this one of the most difficult games on the schedule. Texas A&M should have enough talent and momentum to snag a win, but the combination of SEC pressure, a hostile environment, and LSU's playmakers makes this an extremely tight road win.

Prediction: Texas A&M 28, LSU 24

Win (4-0)

Week 5: Oct. 3 vs. Arkansas

Arkansas Razorbacks

The Aggies return home for their 150th Celebration against Arkansas. This is an important opportunity to regain their bearings following the difficult LSU trip. Texas A&M should be able to control the trenches and generate enough offense to narrowly continue its mission of avoiding an early loss on the schedule.

Prediction: Texas A&M 34, Arkansas 20

Win (5-0)

Week 6: Oct. 10 at No. 25 Missouri

Missouri could be one of the sneakiest games on the schedule. The Tigers have home-field advantage, and SEC road games rarely come easy. Though this feels like the kind of matchup where Texas A&M could struggle, Missouri will not triumph through the pushback and will ultimately fall to the Fightin' Farmers.

Prediction: Texas A&M 34, Missouri 23,

Win (6-0)

Week 7: Oct. 17 vs. The Citadel

After two difficult SEC games, The Citadel provides a welcome break. Texas A&M should control this game from start to finish. The Aggies can use the matchup to get starters some rest while giving younger players the perfect opportunity to contribute for an easy win.

Prediction: Texas A&M 48, The Citadel 6

Win (7-0)

Week 8: Oct. 24 at No. 13 Alabama

Alabama Crimson Tide

This could be Texas A&M's toughest game of the regular season. Traveling to Bryant-Denny Stadium is difficult under any circumstances, and Alabama has the talent to exploit the most common mistakes. Alabama's depth and home-field advantage ultimately make the difference in the first loss of Texas A&M's 2026 season.

Prediction: Alabama 30, Texas A&M 20

Lose (7-1)

Week 10: Nov. 7 at South Carolina

South Carolina could present a dangerous road matchup, but this is a game Texas A&M should mark as a win. The Aggies will need to handle the atmosphere and avoid giving Lanorris Sellers room to work. If they play clean football, Texas A&M should leave Columbia with a semi-easy victory.

Prediction: Texas A&M 28, South Carolina 21

Win (8-1)

Week 11: Nov. 14 vs. No. 20 Tennessee

Tennessee's visit to Kyle Field could be one of the biggest home games of the season, with yet another opportunity for the Aggies to prove they can beat a high-level SEC opponent. With the "blackout" crowd behind them, Texas A&M gets the slight edge in what could be a physical, high-scoring game.

Prediction: Texas A&M 31, Tennessee 27

Win (9-1)

Week 12: Nov. 21 at No. 10 Oklahoma

The trip to Norman is another major challenge late in the season. Oklahoma's home-field advantage, combined with the toll of an exhausting SEC schedule, makes this a difficult spot for Texas A&M. The Aggies could enter this game needing a win to keep their SEC championship dreams alive, but Oklahoma narrowly wins.

Prediction: Oklahoma 28, Texas A&M 21

Lose (9-2)

Week 13: Nov. 28 vs No. 5 Texas

Texas Longhorns

Everything comes down to the Lone Star Showdown, as Texas A&M hosts Texas at Kyle Field. With the rivalry, the atmosphere, and the postseason implications all coming together, this should be one of the most anticipated games of the season. Expect a tense game that comes down to the fourth quarter, with the Aggies making just enough plays to close the regular season with a statement victory.

Prediction: Texas A&M 24, Texas 21

Win (10-2)

Bonus Prediction

SEC Championship: Dec. 5 vs. No. 3 Georgia

With the win over Texas giving the Longhorns their second loss of the season, the Aggies manage to squeeze into the SEC championship to play Georgia. Though momentum is on their side, the Maroon and White are likely to lose in a not-so-close game. Georgia has a very talented roster, and Kirby Smart manages to do it again.

Prediction: Georgia 35, Texas A&M 17

Lose (10-3)
