To make things simple for you, here’s a guide to some of the upcoming sporting events worth visiting in Texas for this season.

Texas may be the second-largest state in the U.S. in terms of size and population; it could be argued that it’s the biggest when it comes to sports.

Although Football might spring to mind as the state’s top sport, with teams like Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans both in the NFL, the state is home to some of the top NHL, NBA, and Major League Baseball teams playing today.

If you love watching sports and you’re planning a trip to the Lone Star State, it’s hard to know where to start with so many events on the calendar.

To make things simple for you, here’s a guide to some of the upcoming sporting events worth visiting in Texas for this season.

Major League Baseball
Traveling to Texas offers the perfect opportunity for baseball enthusiasts to catch a game and experience the thrill of Major League Baseball. If you find yourself in Texas between now and October, be sure to check out the Texas Rangers, one of the state’s most popular baseball teams. As one of the most popular baseball teams in Texas, games attract large crowds, so get your tickets early.

As the baseball season progresses, fans are eagerly speculating about the Texas Rangers’ chances of making it to the World Series. Currently, it looks like a long shot as they are ranked ninth in terms of odds, with bookkeepers giving odds +1800.Texas’ other MLB team, the Houston Astros, are currently ranked number two. It’s worth noting that sports betting is currently still not legal in the state. However, that may all change in the future as sports betting legalization in Texas is a hot topic of debate at the moment, and could open up exciting opportunities for fans to wager on their favorite teams.

While the team has never won a World Series, they may pick up the momentum yet as they’ve made some major offseason moves. So, if you find yourself in Texas during the baseball season, don’t miss the opportunity to witness the game-day atmosphere and catch a thrilling Texas Rangers match.

NFL
If you’re a football fan planning a trip to Texas, you’ll be excited to know that the Dallas Cowboys’ schedule for the year has recently been released. Although there are only a few occasions to see the team at home at the AT&T Stadium early in the season, the Cowboys hope to improve the momentum with a string of home games in November.

Fans who want to catch the team at home can see them take on the New York Jets on September 17th. Feel the excitement in the air, and cheer them on as they strive to make their mark in the league. The energy and passion of a Cowboys game at the AT&T Stadium is an experience that football fans won’t want to miss.

With odds of +1400 for the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl, the team is currently a long shot. That all may change as the season gets going. The team has previously reached the Super Bowl eight times, winning it five times.

NBA
The current season hasn’t been the San Antonio Spurs; however, there were clear signs they are a team to be reckoned with. While it was the NBA’s youngest-ever opening night starter Jeremy Sochan’s rookie year, he owned it, showing us what a capable player he is. And, with NBA’s longest-serving coach, Gregg Popovich, at the helm, the Spurs could still do great things.

The team are ranked in the bottom six for odds right now, and the season is coming to a close, but there’s still a chance to turn things around.

Traveling to Texas and attending a Spurs game can be an exciting and memorable experience, thanks to the passionate fanbase.

College Football
The Texas Longhorns are an intercollegiate team from the University of Texas competing in the NCAA Division. With over 900 wins under their belts, in their 121-year history, the Longhorns rank third in all-time wins.

Odds that the Longhorns will reach the final four are +1100 to reach the final four, and +5000 to win the championship. But, with the college football season set to kick off in late August, these odds will change.

The games that could change the Longhorn’s fortunes include:

Kansas State on November 4th,
Baylor on September 23rd,
Oklahoma on October 7th,
and TCU on November 11th.

The biggest game will be against Alabama on September 9th.
