On Thursday, Texas Tech Athletics Director Kirby Hocutt announced the agreement of a two-game football series between the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Abilene Christian Wildcats.
The first game is scheduled for Aug. 31, 2024, with the second game scheduled two years later on Sept. 5, 2026. Both games are set to take place at Jones AT&T Stadium.
Geographically, Lubbock and Abilene are less than 175 miles apart, but the Wildcats and Red Raiders have not met since 1949 and Texas Tech holds a 6-3 all-time record against ACU.
The Red Raiders have been adding to its future opponents with agreements with multiple teams in non-conference play including some Power Five opponents.
