Sooners Get Primetime Home Game

The Oklahoma Sooners are getting a major scheduling boost in 2026, with a guaranteed primetime home game against New Mexico on ESPN2 — a sign of respect for their program. While their opener against UTEP is on SEC Network Plus (kickoff TBD) and their Week Two clash with Michigan lands in the less-popular noon slot on FOX, the New Mexico game delivers true evening TV exposure. The Lobos, with a strong 2025 campaign, offer a tougher test than typical nonconference foes, making this primetime matchup even more significant.
