The home football game between the Oklahoma Sooners and Ole Miss will be rescheduled to noon Sunday.
The decision follows reports surfacing late Saturday night, just over 15 hours before the original scheduled kickoff time of 3:15 p.m., according to The Oklahoman.
The disruption stems from a nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stoppage that occurred on Friday.
The FAA grounded flights due to extraordinary circumstances.
While the ground stop was eventually lifted on Friday evening, allowing other programs like Tennessee and Texas to successfully fly to their destinations, Ole Miss remained stranded in Mississippi.
The team encountered significant logistical hurdles that prevented them from traveling.
The delay was attributed to charter and pilot issues and time expirations, according to Yahoo Sports.
These specific complications left the visitors unable to depart as planned.
The shift in the schedule marks a significant change for the SEC matchup, which had originally been set for Saturday afternoon.
As of shortly after midnight, university officials had not yet issued an official announcement regarding the venue or ticket logistics for the rescheduled event.
The Sooners’ home schedule for the 2026 season has been subject to various adjustments throughout the year, as noted in previous reports.
Observers are monitoring the situation for further updates as the Sunday kickoff approaches.
The status of the game remained uncertain for much of the day as travel chaos affected multiple athletic programs across the country.
This report will continue to be updated as more information becomes available regarding the final logistics for the Sunday game.
