SEC announces dates, full schedule for 2025 football media days

The Southeastern Conference unveiled the dates and school schedule for this summer’s 2025 SEC Football Kickoff Media Days in Atlanta, Georgia. The annual four-day event will run July 14-17 at the College Football Hall of Fame and Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park.

This will be the third time since 2018 that Atlanta will host the SEC’s preseason media extravaganza. Dallas, Nashville and Atlanta have served as hosts the previous three years following a longtime run in Birmingham.

The four-day spectacle begins July 14 with LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Vanderbilt taking the stage on Monday.

The second day, July 15, brings a lot more firepower with defending league champion Georgia and league runner-up Texas at the podium, along with Auburn and Tennessee, the latter of which will bring its own drama after this past weekend’s public divorce with ex-starting QB Nico Iamaleava.

The third day, July 16, will once again be highlighted by Alabama as well as Florida, Mississippi State and Oklahoma, while the final day, July 17, will wrap things up with Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas A&M.

There will be no new faces at this upcoming SEC Media Days as all 16 SEC head football coaches will return for a second consecutive year, including both Texas’ Steve Sarkisian and Oklahoma’s Brent Venables, who enter their second season in the league.

A more detailed schedule will be released in early July and include each school’s student-athlete representatives, the television viewing schedule and a rotational breakdown.
