Rice University's football team returns from its off week aiming to snap a losing streak that has derailed the Owls' season when they face North Texas on Thursday, November 5, 2026. The matchup kicks off at 12:30 PM UTC.
According to reporting by Greg Rajan of the Houston Chronicle, Rice enters the contest having struggled through a series of defeats that have significantly impacted their campaign. The break in the schedule provided the Owls an opportunity to regroup before traveling to take on the Mean Green.
The game will be televised, though specific channel information was not detailed in the preview. Rice will look to translate the extra preparation time into improved performance on the field as they attempt to turn their season around against conference opposition.
