6 days until the first scheduled game of the 2026 UIL #txhsfb season.

The first game I see scheduled is a six-man game between Covington and Oglesby JV in Oakwood at 5 p.m. on Thursday, 8/27. The first full varsity game I see is Borden vs Newcastle in Jayton at 6 p.m.

The first 11-man games I see scheduled are all at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, 8.27: Spring DeKaney at Fulshear, Katy Freeman at Cy Lakes, Katy Jordan at Cy Woods, Clear Lake at Pasadena Memorial, Pasadena at Houston Northbrook,

Note that 11-man TAPPS starts tonight but this countdown is to the start of the UIL season.
