Matchups to circle Auburn (Sept 27) – The SEC opener at Kyle Field often foreshadows both teams’ trajectories. Early chatter has TV partners eyeing the afternoon CBS window. at LSU (Oct 25) – Death Valley at night is never mercy. The Tigers return a top-five defense; A&M’s revamped offensive line will be tested under the lights. at Texas (Nov 28) – Expect playoff stakes, Heisman narratives and a ticket price north of $400 on the secondary market. Travel & ticket tips • Season-ticket demand has already topped 95 percent capacity, so single-game inventory for Auburn, Florida and South Carolina will be limited. • Fans targeting road trips should monitor airline fare drops eight weeks out; the Fayetteville and Columbia flights historically dip in late August. • Student guest tickets for Samford (lowest-demand home date) go on sale Oct 1 at 8 a.m. Early storyline watch • Quarterback Marcel Reed’s breakout vs. UTSA (289 yd, 4 TD) calmed doubts after Conner Weigman’s NFL departure. Can he replicate that efficiency on the road? • The Aggies opened AP Week 1 at No. 19. A 3-0 start could vault them into the top-10 before SEC play. • Defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s new 4-2-5 scheme flashed speed off the edge, logging five sacks in the opener; sustained pressure will be vital during the October stretch. Bottom line Circle the dates, book the flights and clear your Saturdays: the 2025 Texas A&M football schedule sets the stage for one of the program’s most pivotal seasons in a decade. If the Aggies navigate September unscathed and survive October’s SEC gauntlet, Kyle Field could be hosting playoff talk well before the burnt-orange finale in Austin.
