Rice Football vs UTSA - Rice Families Weekend

The Rice Owls host the UTSA Roadrunners at Rice Stadium on October 3 in what serves as Rice's American Conference home opener — a game that doubles as Rice Families Weekend (October 2–4, 2026), inviting students' families to campus for a celebration of Rice life. Both programs are members of the American Conference; UTSA holds a 9–4 all-time edge in the series, including a lopsided 61–13 win over Rice last October, making this a rivalry with clear stakes for the Owls to even the score. Families Weekend attendees can expect a college gameday atmosphere at the historic on-campus Rice Stadium, with the football contest serving as a centerpiece event alongside other campus activities planned across the weekend.
