2021 Maroon & White Game Sponsored by St. Joseph Health Details Announced

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M fans will have the first opportunity to see the 2021 Aggie Football team at the Maroon & White Game sponsored by St. Joseph Health on Saturday, April 24 at 1 p.m. on Kyle Field.

Texas A&M football wrapped up the 2020 season on an eight-game win streak including a thrilling victory over No. 13 North Carolina in the 87th annual Orange Bowl, to finish the season 9-1 and ranked No. 4 by both the AP and Coaches Poll. It marks A&M’s second-highest finish in the AP Poll and highest since 1939, when the Aggies won the national championship. In addition, the No. 4 ranking is Texas A&M’s second top-five finish since joining the SEC in 2012 and marks the third time in his career that head coach Jimbo Fisher has finished inside the top-five.

In the regular season, the Aggies went 8-1 against an all-SEC slate as they compiled the most victories against conference foes since joining the SEC for the 2012 season.
