Mark your calendars, Buffs fans! The Colorado football schedule just got a Friday night shake-up. The Big 12 Conference announced that the Buffaloes' 2026 home game against the Houston Cougars has been moved to Friday, November 13th, and will be featured on national television.

This shift creates a new highlight for the fall schedule, turning a November weekend into a prime-time event under the lights at Folsom Field. The game was originally slated for the university's homecoming weekend, but that coveted spot will now host a different Big 12 battle.

With Houston moving to Friday, the homecoming game on Saturday, October 3rd, will now feature a matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, promising a fantastic atmosphere for alumni and fans. Specific television networks and kickoff times for both games will be announced later.

For those eager to get a glimpse of the future of Colorado football, you can see the team take shape this very weekend. The annual Black and Gold spring scrimmage at Folsom Field offers a free preview, with tickets still available and the action streaming live on the BuffsTV YouTube Channel. It's the perfect way to gear up for the exciting schedule changes ahead.
