A global stage
“We are extremely honored that TCU has been invited to participate in the 2026 Aer Lingus College Football Classic,” TCU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Mike Buddie said. “This is more than just a football game. It’s an opportunity to advance TCU’s brand globally while having our student-athletes experience a unique educational opportunity and memory of a lifetime.”
Excitement continues over at North Carolina, according to UNC Head Football Coach Bill Belichick. “We’re grateful to be selected to participate in the 2026 Aer Lingus College Football Classic. It’s a tremendous opportunity for our program and we’re excited to represent the university and our community on an international stage.”

Aviva Stadium, Dublin
"Bowl game"
The game takes place in the magnificent bowl-shaped Aviva Stadium – home to the Irish Rugby Football Union and the Republic of Ireland national football team, and is Ireland's first and only UEFA Elite Stadium.
It’s also a concert venue and has hosted some of the biggest names in music (including Madonna, Rhianna and Neil Diamond). So, with a capacity of 48,000, expect the stadium to be packed with excited football fans on August 29th.
Beyond the stadium
Frequently voted as one of the world’s friendliest cities, Dublin will extend a warm welcome to fans traveling to celebrate the big game. Expect all the usual college football fanfare, from marching bands to cheerleaders.
Of course, no football game would be complete without tailgate parties before and after the game – games, music, food, dancing, and maybe a few surprises. Get ready for an epic football weekend!
And when the football is over, it's time to go exploring! Take your time and see what Dublin has to offer. Or go further afield and discover the romantic castles and ancient standing stones of Ireland's Ancient East, the rugged coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way, and the stunning landscapes and vibrant spirit of Northern Ireland.
