Big 12 Football Champ Texas Tech Has Open Slots in 2027 After ACC Changes Prompt 2 Cancellations
NC State’s ACC schedule changes triggered a buyout that left Texas Tech with two open 2027 nonconference dates, officials said.
- On Friday, Texas Tech announced it has open slots on its 2027 football schedule after North Carolina State canceled their upcoming game citing Atlantic Coast Conference scheduling changes.
- The Atlantic Coast Conference is moving to a nine-game league schedule this year, requiring teams to play at least 10 games against power-conference opponents, forcing conference schools to renegotiate nonconference commitments.
- North Carolina State utilized a buyout clause in its home-and-home agreement with Texas Tech to cancel the Lubbock game, prompting the school to reciprocally cancel its 2027 game at North Texas.
- Filling the vacancy left by Stanford's cancellation with TCU, North Texas will play the Horned Frogs on the second weekend of the 2027 season.
- Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt said the university hopes to soon finalize new agreements with a power conference and FBS school to fill its remaining 2027 schedule slots.
