2026 in particular will see see Texas State play a non-conference schedule of entirely in-state foes. That includes dates with Texas, North Texas, UTSA, and Incarnate Word.

Also notable, including their 2024 date with the Roadrunners, the Bobcats will play UTSA every year through the 2031 season. UTSA has won all five of the two schools' previous meetings where both programs were at the FBS level, including their 2023 game in San Antonio.
