Texas Longhorns are most-watched team in college footbal

It's not just the "Eyes of Texas" that are on the Longhorns. Texas football is the most watched program in all of college football through four games of the 2026 season. The Horns have had two of the three most watched games of the season so far and are averaging by far the most viewers per game.

The most-watched college football game so far this season was in Week 2 when No. 1 Ohio State traveled to Austin to take on the then No. 4 ranked Texas. UT's epic comeback over the Buckeyes on ABC drew 13.99 million. It was ABC's most-watched regular season game since 2026.
