Texas Tech has signed a 15-year naming rights partnership with digital assets and infrastructure company Galaxy.
Terms of the deal announced on Friday were not disclosed. The partnership will begin with the 2026 season.
The Red Raiders’ football stadium, formerly known as Jones AT&T Stadium, will be renamed Galaxy Stadium, and the partnership will include NIL opportunities for Texas Tech student-athletes.
The deal comes on the heels of a tumultuous time at Texas Tech surrounding quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who is from Lake Dallas.
Texas Tech planned to play Sorsby after he transferred from Cincinnati, despite admitting to betting on games as a freshman while at Indiana.
The quarterback ultimately abandoned a legal effort to regain his eligibility after the NCAA suspended him for gambling and has said he will wait until next year to enter the NFL draft.
The Texas Tribune reported Texas Tech Board of Regents Chair Cody Campbell donated $274,300 to a fundraising committee supporting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his bid for U.S. Senate. Paxton sent a letter to the Big 12 the following day, saying that any attempts to sanction the university for fielding Sorsby would be “unlawful” and potentially expose it to $200 million in damages.
According to the university, the naming rights agreement with Galaxy, a global leader in data center infrastructure and digital assets, will create a new revenue stream during a monumental period for the Texas Tech program, which is coming off a Big 12 title and College Football Playoff appearance.
“We’re pleased to welcome Galaxy as the new naming rights partner of our football stadium,” Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt said in a statement.
“When I visit with alumni across the country, the conversation almost always turns to their favorite memories inside our stadium. We look forward to creating many more of those moments together in Galaxy Stadium, one of the premier home-field environments in college football. This long-term partnership with Galaxy will have a lasting impact on Texas Tech Athletics.”

Coach also expresses belief that other Lone Star gridiron showdowns should be taking place, including Tech vs. SMU.
