Texas and Oklahoma meet at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park on Saturday, October 9, 2027, kickoff time to be announced, with the State Fair of Texas surrounding the rivalry and your game ticket doubling as Fair admission. Oklahoma took the 2026 edition 27-24 on a field goal as the clock hit zero, which is the kind of finish this game keeps producing. The atmosphere is the point. The practical work is choosing the correct fan side and getting the group through Fair Park together.

Choose a Side Before You Choose a Row

This is a neutral-site rivalry with a visibly divided crowd, so team section matters more than it does at most games. A centered view gives the cleanest look at the field, while corners and end zones trade perspective for price. The right ticket also needs a workable entrance and transportation plan.

Option	Best fit	Watch for
Sideline reserved seat	Balanced field view	Premium locations command demand
Corner seat	Value with useful depth	Angle changes by row and section
End-zone seat	Seeing plays develop vertically	Far-end action is distant
Hospitality package	Groups wanting hosted space	Admission and benefits must be confirmed

Do not rely on color alone when buying. Confirm the exact section, row, fan allocation, mobile delivery, and whether the specific game ticket includes fair admission under the current event terms. Keep every guest on the same entrance and return plan.

Red River Rivalry planning checklist

Confirm the exact section and intended team side before purchase. The 2027 game is Saturday, October 9. Kickoff time follows when the SEC sets it.
Your game ticket is your State Fair admission on game day, by the Fair's rule, so keep it ready for both scans.
Check Fair Park bag, gate, transfer and transportation notices close to game day.
Set one pickup point outside the pedestrian crush and share it before entering.

Nothing to Book Until Next October? Dallas Disagrees

The Red River game is a once-a-year ticket, which leaves a long run of Saturdays, Sundays and one very large Thursday before it. The same request that puts your group on the Texas side next October puts it in a Cowboys suite at AT&T Stadium or on the glass at American Airlines Center this season. The nearest dates:

Game	When	Where	Book
Stars vs. Bruins	Tue, Oct 20, 7:00 PM CT	American Airlines Center	Glass seats or a suite
Stars vs. Islanders	Sun, Oct 25	American Airlines Center	Glass seats or a suite
Cowboys vs. Cardinals	Sun, Nov 1, 12:00 PM CT	AT&T Stadium, Arlington	Suite tickets
Cowboys vs. 49ers	Sun, Nov 15	AT&T Stadium, Arlington	Suite tickets
Cowboys vs. Eagles, Thanksgiving	Thu, Nov 26, 3:30 PM CT	AT&T Stadium, Arlington	Suite tickets
Mavericks home games	2026-27 season	American Airlines Center	Courtside to skybox

Dates from our Cowboys and Stars schedule pages. Suites, glass and courtside are quoted per game, because the opponent and the date set the price.

Build the Rest of the Night

The ticket is the centerpiece, not the whole plan. Compare Dallas sports tickets, party bus transportation, and group shuttle service before the group settles on seats, arrival time, and how much private space the night actually needs.

Send the game year, team side, guest count, and pickup plan. Ask the DallasVIP concierge, and we will match the group to live inventory without pretending every seat or suite works the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the 2027 Texas vs. Oklahoma game?

Saturday, October 9, 2027, at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park, Dallas, in the middle of the State Fair of Texas. The kickoff time and network follow when the SEC and its TV partners set the October windows; the 2026 game kicked at 2:30 PM Central. Send the group size and the side you want now, and we confirm the section as inventory opens. We update this page when the time lands.

Does a Texas vs. Oklahoma ticket include State Fair admission?

Yes. The State Fair of Texas's rule is that a game ticket is your Fair admission on game day: the same ticket is scanned at the Fair gate and at the stadium. The Fair states it in its FAQ and repeated it in its 2025 game guide. Keep the ticket on your phone for both scans, and glance at the 2027 ticket terms before you go, since the Fair writes them, not us. Checked October 2, 2026.

Which side do Texas and Oklahoma fans sit on?

The Cotton Bowl is split between the two schools, so the crowd divides by team rather than mixing. The half you sit in follows which school's allotment your ticket comes from, not the seat color on a chart. Tell us the side you want and the group size, and we source seats on that side together.

How do we get a group to the Cotton Bowl?

One pickup, one vehicle, one drop near your Fair Park gate. A smaller group fits a Sprinter van, a bigger crowd takes a party bus, and a company group spread across hotels runs a shuttle on a loop. Set the pickup point outside the pedestrian crush and share it before anyone enters the Fair.
