SEC announces dates, kickoff times for six 2024 games on ABC, including Florida-Georgia game

TV times and schedules for the 2024 college football season are continuing to leak, and on Wednesday the first major batch of SEC games were revealed.

The conference announced the TV designations for several games, including the annual Florida–Georgia game in Jacksonville, Fla. That game will kick off in its familiar 3:30 p.m. ET spot, though this year it will be on ABC as the league’s television deal shifts over.

There was another big chunk of games revealed. Check them out below.

New TV times for SEC football games

Sept. 7 – South Carolina @ Kentucky, 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC
Sept. 7 – Tennessee vs. NC State, 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC
Sept. 14 – Texas A&M @ Florida, 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC
Sept. 14 – Georgia @ Kentucky, 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC
Sept. 28 – Georgia @ Alabama, 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC
Nov. 2 – Florida vs. Georgia (Jacksonville), 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC

That slate will include some key games, not the least of which is the first one between a pair of former SEC East rivals. Kentucky and South Carolina will be jockeying for position in the league, and both will do so with some significant changes.

Both teams lost their starting quarterback from a year ago. Both might also entertain the idea of a transfer starting this year: for Kentucky Brock Vandagriff (Georgia) and for South Carolina Robby Ashford (Auburn). Whoever wins will take an early edge in the conference race.

Tennessee, meanwhile, gets a chance to show off what it can do against a quality non-conference opponent with a sound defense when it takes on NC State in Charlotte, N.C.

Texas A&M and Florida will meet on what will likely be a hot afternoon in the Swamp in a game that both programs need to begin a turnaround of sorts.

Georgia will then play a pair of night road games on ABC, first taking on Kentucky on Sept. 14 before getting a bye week and then heading to Tuscaloosa to take on Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide in a pivotal SEC showdown.
