Details
The Horned Frogs are headed across the Atlantic — and this is YOUR chance to be part of history! For the very first time, TCU takes the field in Ireland as they face North Carolina in the 2026 Aer Lingus College Football Classic. This game isn’t just the season opener; it’s the start of what could be a championship run.
And we’ve built the ultimate 7-night Irish adventure around it. Imagine cheering on your team in Dublin, celebrating with fellow Frogs at an exclusive tailgate, and then exploring the castles, cliffs, and coastlines of Ireland — all in one unforgettable trip.
This is more than football. This is Ireland. This is TCU.
