Benbrook, get ready—your hometown team is going global. The TCU Horned Frogs are packing their bags and heading to Dublin, Ireland to open the 2026 college football season in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.
Slated for Saturday, August 29, the Frogs will take on North Carolina inside Aviva Stadium, a 47,000-seat venue in the heart of Ireland’s capital. This will mark TCU’s first-ever international football appearance, and they’ll be serving as the home team.
This high-profile matchup is more than just a game—it’s a historic moment for TCU and its fans. The Aer Lingus Classic has become a staple in bridging Irish-American relations through the lens of college football, and 2026 will mark the fifth straight year the NCAA season opens on Irish soil.
Starting Thursday, May 8, fans can lock in their trip through official TCU Travel and Hospitality packages at Frogs2Ireland.com. Options include all-inclusive travel bundles with luxury accommodations and premium tickets, or hospitality packages featuring in-stadium perks like food, drinks, and upgraded seating in the TCU section.
For those planning to handle their own travel, standalone game tickets will go on sale in early 2026.
So, whether you’re a die-hard Frog or just love the idea of college football in Europe, now’s the time to start planning. Dublin’s about to turn purple, and Benbrook fans should be right in the heart of it.
