Texas vs. Michigan 2027 game to be moved to new date, per report
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Michigan at Texas is reportedly getting a new date next year.
The Wolverines had been scheduled to travel to Austin on Sept. 11, 2027, for the other half of the home-and-home that began with Texas’s trip to Ann Arbor in 2024. FBschedules.com, however, reported this week that Michigan is now set to play Eastern Michigan on Sept. 11, 2027.
The two options are that the game is either rescheduled or canceled. FBschedules notes that the game carries a $2 million cancelation fee unless both schools mutually agree to call it off. David Eckert of Horns247 reports that the game will be played, but on a new date.
I asked Steve Sarkisian about the report that Michigan has added a different game for Sept. 11 next year — when it is currently scheduled to play Texas.

UT and Michigan will still play in '27, but it might be on a different date. Related to the general CFB scheduling change.
