2026 SEC Football Schedules
October 3 •
The Southeastern Conference has announced the football schedules for all 16 SEC schools for the 2026 season, the first in which every school will play nine conference games. The SEC announced in August it would begin playing nine conference games for each school beginning in 2026. Each school will continue to be required to schedule at least one opponent from the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten or Big 12 conferences or Notre Dame. Under the new format: • The SEC will continue with a single-standings, non- divisional structure; • Each school will play three annual opponents focused on maintaining many traditional rivalries; • Each team’s remaining six games will rotate among the remaining conference schools; and • Each team will face every other SEC program at least once every two years and every opponent home and away in four years. The top two teams in the league standings based on winning percentage will play in the 35th SEC Football Championship Game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday, December 5. The complete list of 2026 football schedules can be found on the SEC’s official website, SECsports.com. Dates are subject to change for television.
