In an homage to the 2011 Horned Frogs' Rose Bowl helmet, TCU will replace the rose with a clover for the 2026 Aer Lingus College Football Classic.
TCU will play North Carolina in Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday, August 29. It will be the first college football game of the 2026 season.
The Frogs will enter the 2026 season coming off a No. 25 ranking for the 2025 season that included nine wins and a victory over No. 16 USC in the Alamo Bowl.
No. 11 TCU women's basketball defeated No. 18 Baylor 65-53 on national television and before 6,330 fans in Schollmaier Arena on Sunday, March 1, to win its second consecutive Big 12 regular season title.
The afternoon victory followed TCU hosting ESPN College GameDay for the first time in college basketball. It was the Horned Frogs' 42nd consecutive home win, the most in women's college basketball.
The victory moved TCU up to 10th in the latest Top 25 ranking. Baylor dropped to 20th.
TCU became the first program in Big 12 history to win back-to-back titles within three seasons of finishing in last place (2023 season).
TCU swept the regular season series against Baylor for the second consecutive year. The Frogs have defeated Baylor five consecutive times. TCU defeated Baylor in last season's final game to win the big 12 regular season championship and then defeated the Bears in the Big 12 Championship Tournament to win the tournament championship.
TCU ended the regular season with an overall record of 27-4. The Frogs were 15-3 in the Big 12.
TCU ended the regular season on a six-game winning streak and will be the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, which starts on March 4.
