The buzz is building in College Station as Texas A&M football prepares for its annual showcase. This Saturday, April 18, 2026, Kyle Field will open its gates for the Maroon and White spring game, offering fans their first live look at the 2026 Aggies.

This intrasquad scrimmage marks the 15th and final practice of the spring before the team breaks until summer workouts. It’s a crucial dress rehearsal, providing a glimpse of the new roster dynamics and emerging leaders before the fall campaign begins.

The teams have been drafted, setting the stage for a competitive atmosphere. Leading the White squad will be quarterback Marcel Reed and safety Dalton Brooks, while the Maroon team will be captained by dynamic wide receiver Terry Bussey and linebacker Daymion Sanford.

While the excitement is palpable, the Aggies will be without several key players for the exhibition. A total of 20 scholarship athletes are sidelined, including notable absences like cornerbacks Dezz Ricks and Rickey Gibson III, and receiver Jerome Myles. This game is a significant milestone for the team's 43 new faces—a blend of 25 high school recruits and 18 transfer portal additions—as they take the field for the first time since the program's College Football Playoff loss to Miami.

For fans tuning in from home or on the go, the action will be broadcast on SEC Network+. Local radio coverage can be found on 1370 AM in Austin and 1150 AM/93.7 FM in College Station. The forecast calls for a breezy, mostly cloudy day in Aggieland, with temperatures reaching the mid-70s—perfect weather for football.
