The TCU Horned Frogs have added the Northwestern State Demons to their 2028 football schedule, with the game set 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, as revealed by a public records request.
This matchup will be the second time the teams meet on the football field, following a previous game in 2001 where Northwestern State triumphed over TCU 27-24 in overtime. Northwestern State University, located in Natchitoches, Louisiana, plays in the Southland Conference of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and is currently under the leadership of head coach Blaine McCorkle.
The game against Northwestern State rounds out TCU's non-conference schedule for the 2028 season. TCU will kick off their season at home against Louisiana on August 26, followed by a road game against Duke on September 9.
The Big 12 Conference has not yet disclosed the specific conference opponents for TCU in 2028, but the team is anticipated to have five home games and four away games that year. Northwestern State is also set to host Central Arkansas on September 16, 2028.
