Texas vs. Oklahoma: How to Watch the Red River Rivalry Game, TV Channel, Time, Live Stream

It’s Week 6 of the 2023 college football season and Texas-OU weekend has arrived with one of college football’s premier rivalry games. The 119th edition of the Red River Rivalry will take place on Saturday as the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners meet at the Cotton Bowl, hoping to continue their undefeated seasons.

This Red River Rivalry is lined up to be one of the biggest games in the series’ recent history. Both teams come into the game highly ranked with undefeated records for the first time since 2011, and some believe the winner will be the frontrunner for one of the spots in the Big 12 Championship Game. The Longhorns will be looking to make it two-straight wins over the Sooners after dominating Oklahoma 49-0 last season.
