The TCU Horned Frogs have announced a matchup against the Northwestern State Demons for the 2028 football season. This game is scheduled for September 2, 2028, at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU will pay Northwestern State a guarantee of $600,000 for their participation, according to a contract obtained through public records.
This will be the second time TCU and Northwestern State meet on the football field, with their first game occurring in 2001, where the Demons triumphed over the Horned Frogs 27-24 in overtime. Northwestern State University, located in Natchitoches, Louisiana, competes in the Southland Conference of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
Currently, they are led by head coach Blaine McCorkle and have begun their season with two losses.
The addition of this game finalizes TCU's non-conference schedule for 2028. Before facing Northwestern State, TCU will kick off their season at home against Louisiana on August 26 and then travel to Duke on September 9. The Big 12 Conference has not yet revealed the specific conference opponents for that season, but TCU is anticipated to play five home games and four away games.
Northwestern State is also set to host Central Arkansas on September 16, 2028.
