DALLAS – Mustang Partners today announced that SMU Football will host Oklahoma in 2027 and LSU in 2029 at AT&T Stadium, marking the first time in over 40 years the Mustangs will play at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Oklahoma game will take place on Saturday, September 11, 2027, and the LSU game will kick off on Saturday, September 1, 2029.
SMU has a storied history at the home of the Cowboys. The Mustangs began playing select games at Texas Stadium in 1972 and hosted all home contests there from 1979 to 1986. During that span, SMU recorded four 10-win seasons and posted winning records in seven of eight years.
"Playing Oklahoma in 2027 and LSU in 2029 at AT&T Stadium reflects both where SMU Football has been and where it is going," said Damon Evans, SMU Director of Athletics. "These games evoke our historic presence on the national stage, including the Pony Express era, while delivering meaningful opportunities for revenue generation, brand visibility, and partner engagement in direct support of the vision of Mustang Partners and our continued growth in the ACC."
"As Dallas's only college football program, it's important that we continue to play in venues that allow football fans across the Metroplex to support the Mustangs," said Rhett Lashlee, Head Football Coach. "As we work to elevate SMU back onto the national stage, we're intentional about scheduling other national brands in iconic venues, on national television. Our players aspire to play in the NFL, and the opportunity to compete in the Cowboys' premier stadium gives them a chance to experience that environment and showcase their talent on a big stage."
The matchups against the Sooners and Tigers will be played at one of the most iconic sports and entertainment venues in the world. Since opening in 2009, AT&T Stadium has hosted college football championships, major concerts, NFL games, and international soccer tournaments, including this summer's FIFA World Cup matches.
Ticket information and kickoff times will be announced at a later date.
