The stage is set for the next four seasons as the SEC’s nine-game conference schedule was released Tuesday evening.
After the decision was approved by the SEC’s presidents and chancellors in August, this now 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.
This format change will protect conference rivalries and ensure competitive balance throughout the future.
Here is the 2026-2029 nine-game conference schedule for each SEC program, plus its three annual opponents.
