IRVING, Texas – The University of Tulsa, in coordination with the American Conference, announced its lineup of conference opponents for the 2026 football season.
Â
In 2026, the Golden Hurricane will host Army, Charlotte, Florida Atlantic and North Texas. TU will be on the road against Navy, Rice, Tulane, and UTSA.
Â
The 2026 season will once again see all 14 American teams play eight conference games, with four home games and four road dates for each team. The scheduling format fulfills a number of strategic and practical objectives set by the conference. There are no repeat matchups played at the same site from 2025 to 2026, and no team will avoid a particular opponent in consecutive years. Each team will play at least one road game in the Eastern and Central time zones and will have at least one road game in the state of Texas in a two-year span.
Â
The American will continue with a single-division format in 2026. The top two teams in the final regular-season standings will qualify for the American Championship Game.
Â
The full 2026 conference schedule will be announced in February.
