Last checked: November 14, 2026, 7:08 PM Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−06:00), Baton Rouge; November 15, 2026, 01:08 UTC.
Texas and LSU meet Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge in a nationally televised SEC matchup with major postseason implications. The official team schedules list ABC as the broadcast network and a 6:30 p.m. Central time slot (7:30 p.m. Eastern). Texas's more detailed game notes identify a 6:49 p.m. Central kickoff, while an LSU pregame preview lists 6:45 p.m. Central. Those are different official scheduling references, so viewers should tune in by 6:30 p.m. CST rather than treat a single minute as the confirmed time of the opening snap.
At this verification, the accessible official team game centers did not provide a reliable, time-stamped live score, finalized result, or verified in-game highlight clips. This story therefore reports confirmed game information and clear routes to live updates without inventing a score, a touchdown, an injury, or a winner. Saturday in Baton Rouge is CST (UTC−06:00); the listed 6:30 p.m. television slot is 00:30 UTC on Sunday, November 15.
The latest available official matchup information establishes the location, Saturday date, television channel and scheduled start window. Texas's game center links the matchup to Tiger Stadium and directs fans to its game-day updates. LSU's official football schedule lists Texas as its final home opponent of the 2026 regular season and marks the contest as a Senior Tribute event.
There is no independently confirmed final score in the official sources reviewed for this version. Live score widgets and automatically refreshed social posts may change from minute to minute, while cached schedule pages may lag behind. To avoid conflating a partial score with a final result, readers seeking the current quarter, clock, scoring drives, penalties, or player statistics should use the Texas official game center and LSU official football schedule and live-stats links.
ABC has the national broadcast. The Texas 2026 schedule and LSU 2026 schedule list the matchup for 6:30 p.m. Central on Saturday, November 14. On that date, Baton Rouge observes Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−06:00), not daylight saving time. The television slot corresponds to 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00) and 00:30 UTC on Sunday, November 15.
The official Texas game notes list kickoff at 6:49 p.m. CST, equivalent to 7:49 p.m. EST and 00:49 UTC Sunday. In its November 13 preview, LSU advertised 6:45 p.m. CST, or 7:45 p.m. EST and 00:45 UTC Sunday. The discrepancy is only a few minutes but matters if a reader wants the exact opening snap. ABC viewers should be ready before the scheduled television window; precise game-clock events must be checked against the live broadcast or official game log.
The most consequential confirmed update is that this is a Saturday-night ABC matchup, after early-November SEC scheduling notices had left the kickoff assignment unresolved. Another significant development is its competitive context: Texas arrived 7–2 overall and 4–2 in SEC games; LSU entered 6–3 overall and 3–3 in conference play, according to Texas's pregame notes. Texas had beaten Missouri 34–20 on November 7, while LSU lost to Alabama 31–13 the same day, according to the respective official schedules.
For LSU, this is the regular-season home finale, increasing the importance of the setting as well as the result. For Texas, it is another road game in the conference race with Arkansas and Texas A&M still on the schedule. A win could improve either team's postseason résumé, but playoff qualification cannot be inferred from this matchup alone; other results and subsequent rankings also matter.
One is the contrast between LSU's high-output offense and the defenses involved. The Texas pregame notes credited LSU with 504.1 total offensive yards per game entering the matchup, compared with 360.7 for Texas, while listing both teams among the nation's strongest by total yards allowed. Those are pregame season averages, not statistics from Saturday night's game; they should not be presented as evidence that either offense or defense has already dominated this contest.
Texas quarterback Arch Manning is central to the Longhorns' offensive outlook, with Raleek Brown and Ryan Wingo among the named leaders on Texas's game center before kickoff. LSU coach Lane Kiffin and Texas coach Steve Sarkisian both face a consequential conference test, but any evaluation of game-day execution requires actual play-by-play or a postgame report.
The safest first stops are the universities' official football channels, including the Texas game center and LSU's football schedule, which links to recaps, statistics, photographs and highlights for completed games. ABC is the confirmed live television outlet. Highlight packages may appear only after specific plays or after the final whistle; their release times were not confirmed at this check.
Do not confuse the archived 2019 matchup, when LSU beat Texas 45–38 in Austin, with the November 14, 2026 game. The 2026 contest is the programs' first meeting in Tiger Stadium since 1953, according to the LSU pregame release. Historical clips and past scores can surface prominently in search results, so check the upload date and opponent labels before sharing them as current highlights.
Texas is scheduled to host Arkansas on Saturday, November 21, then travel to Texas A&M on Friday, November 27. LSU's listed remaining regular-season games are at Tennessee on November 21 and at Arkansas on November 28. Those fixtures make Saturday's result relevant to conference positioning and bowl or playoff assessments, although no outcome should be assumed until the game ends and official standings reflect it.
Further updates should focus on confirmed scoring plays, the final score, significant injuries if officially disclosed, coaching comments and authenticated highlight videos. Until those are available, the accurate status is that the matchup details and broadcast are confirmed while an authoritative final recap remains pending.
