Thousands pour into town for Games of Texas July 31-Aug. 3

Let the Games begin!

The 2025 Texas Amateur Athletic Federation's Summer Games of Texas kicks off Thursday, July 31, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 3, at premier venues across College Station and Bryan.

The Olympic-style festival features approximately 8,000 amateur athletes of all ages from across the state competing in a variety of events, primarily swimming and track and field. Other events include archery, boxing, esports, golf, pickleball, tennis, and ultimate frisbee.

College Station, Bryan, and Texas A&M University are hosting the Games for the eighth time, having previously hosted in 1988, 1994, 2000, 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019. The Games will return in 2026.

The 2019 Games attracted more than 20,000 athletes, coaches, families, and volunteers, with an estimated economic impact of $8.1 million on the local community.
