Tech will open their season with five of their first six games in Texas. They'll open the 2021 campaign in Houston at NRG against the Houston Cougars. Conference play starts in Austin against Texas and Steve Sarkisian.

After their trip to Austin, Tech will have their home Big 12 opener against the Horned Frogs of TCU for the third time in program history. The Red Raiders bye week will come in the first week of November (Week 10).

After the bye week, Tech will have back-to-back home games against Iowa State and Oklahoma St before ending the year in Waco against Baylor on Thanksgiving weekend.
