The Big 12 has announced TCU’s 2020 conference football schedule, finalizing the Horned Frogs’ slate for next season.

TCU will open the 2020 campaign on Sept. 5 at California. The Golden Bears will play at TCU in 2021. The Horned Frogs defeated Cal 10-7 in overtime to win the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl. The Horned Frogs are 7-0 against Pac-12 opponents under head coach Gary Patterson.

The trip to Berkeley will mark TCU’s first game in the state of California since a 31-24 victory over Louisiana Tech in the 2011 Poinsettia Bowl. The Horned Frogs last played in Northern California when they won 38-36 at Stanford in 2007.

TCU will make its 2020 home debut when it hosts Prairie View A&M on Sept. 12.

The Horned Frogs will travel to West Virginia (Oct. 10), Baylor (Oct. 24), Texas (Nov. 14) and Kansas (Nov. 28).
