HUNTSVILLE – Sam Houston football has finalized another non-conference series as an FBS member, announcing on Wednesday a home-and-home series with Tulsa for the 2026 and 2031 seasons.
Â
This will be the first meeting between the programs since 2009. That contest is the only time the two teams have played as Tulsa came away with a 56-3 victory at home.
Â
The home-and-home series has the Bearkats hosting the Golden Hurricane on September 12, 2026, marking the first time a team from the American Conference has played in Huntsville.
Â
Sam Houston will then return the game with an Aug. 30, 2031 kickoff at H.A. Chapman Stadium in Tulsa.
Â
"This is an exciting opportunity to play Tulsa again and will be a positive for our Bearkat fans who will have a close opportunity to travel to see the Bearkats play and to have a nationally known football program play at Bowers," Director of Athletics Bobby Williams said.
Â
The Kats officially joined Conference USA on July 1 and have now secured home-and-home series with Hawai'i, Colorado State, Troy and Georgia Southern in future years.
