The TCU Horned Frogs have confirmed a matchup against the Northwestern State Demons for the 2028 football season. Scheduled for September 2, 2028, the game will take place at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU will pay Northwestern State a guarantee of $600,000 for their participation, as revealed in a contract obtained through a public records request.
This game will be the second time the two teams meet on the football field, with their first encounter in 2001 resulting in a 27-24 overtime victory for the Demons. Northwestern State University, located in Natchitoches, Louisiana, is a member of the Southland Conference and competes at the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level.
The Demons are currently under the leadership of head coach Blaine McCorkle and have begun their season with two losses.
The addition of this game finalizes TCU's non-conference schedule for the 2028 season, which also includes a home opener against Louisiana on August 26 and an away game at Duke on September 9. The Big 12 Conference has not yet announced the specific conference matchups for that year, but TCU is anticipated to have five home games and four road games.
Northwestern State is also set to host Central Arkansas on September 16, 2028.
