Schedule

Oklahoma announced its 2015 football schedule on November 19, 2014. The 2015 schedule consisted of six home games, five away games and one neutral game in the regular season. The Sooners hosted Big 12 foes Iowa State, TCU, Texas Tech, and West Virginia and traveled to Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State. Oklahoma played Texas in Dallas, Texas at the Cotton Bowl for the 110th time on October 10 for the Red River Showdown.^[12]

The Sooners hosted two non-conference games against Akron and Tulsa and traveled to its other non-conference foe Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee. Oklahoma met for the first time against the Akron Zips at home to open the season. The Sooners then traveled to Tennessee after defeating the Tennessee Volunteers last season and then hosted in-state rival Tulsa after traveling to Tulsa last year.
