The SEC announced its 2026 college football schedules for each of its 16 members Thursday evening with a notable difference from years past — the league is switching to a nine-game conference schedule beginning next season.<\/p>\n

The move, which was approved by the SEC’s presidents and chancellors in August, allows for each SEC team to face every other SEC program once every two years while maintaining three annual opponents. Each SEC team will still have to schedule at least one nonconference opponent from the ACC, Big Ten or Big 12 conference or Notre Dame each season.<\/p>\n

The most anticipated game in the conference — and perhaps the country — will come in Week 3 when Lane Kiffin leads LSU into Oxford on Sept. 19 to face his former team, Ole Miss. Another highlight has Georgia visiting Alabama on Oct. 10 in a rematch of this season’s SEC championship game.<\/p>\n
