The SEC has announced their updated kickoff times and television designations for Week 9. The slate features some intense showdowns, like Ole Miss at Oklahoma and Texas A&M at LSU.

Check out the full schedule below. It’s tough not to get excited when you see who’s facing off on Oct. 25 in the conference.

  • Ole Miss at Oklahoma — Noon ET / 11 AM CT (ABC)
  • Auburn at Arkansas — 12:45 PM ET / 11:45 AM CT (SEC Network)
  • Alabama at South Carolina — 3:30 PM ET / 2:30 PM CT (ABC)
  • Texas at Mississippi State — 3:30 PM ET / 2:30 PM CT or 4:15 PM ET / 3:15 PM CT (ESPN or SEC Network)
  • Missouri at Vanderbilt — 3:30 PM ET / 2:30 PM CT or 4:15 PM ET / 3:15 PM CT (ESPN or SEC Network)
  • Texas A&M at LSU — 7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT (ABC)
  • Tennessee at Kentucky — 7:45 PM ET / 6:45 PM CT (SEC Network)

As you can tell, Week 9 in the SEC features a loaded slate headlined by multiple pivotal conference matchups that could shape the College Football Playoff picture. The action kicks off early, with Ole Miss traveling to Oklahoma for a marquee noon showdown, followed by Auburn visiting Arkansas in Fayetteville.

Later in the afternoon, Alabama heads to South Carolina for a 3:30 PM ET kickoff. Additionally, Texas battles Mississippi State and Missouri meets Vanderbilt, both airing in the late-afternoon window.

The primetime lineup is compelling, as well. There’s two high-stakes games under the lights — Texas A&M faces LSU in Death Valley at 7:30 PM ET, renewing a rivalry that always seemingly always delivers.

Meanwhile, Tennessee travels to Kentucky for a clash that could have major implications for the Vols. With several impressive teams on the road and multiple games carrying Playoff weight, Week 9 promises to be one of the more dramatic weekends yet for a conference full of them thus far in 2025.

As it stands at the moment in the latest AP Top 25 Poll, the Aggies lead the way at No. 4, followed closely by the Rebels and the Crimson Tide at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively. Georgia and LSU round out the top ten at No. 9 and No. 10, with Tennessee (No. 11), Oklahoma (No. 14), Missouri (No. 16), Vanderbilt (No. 17) and Texas (No. 21) also in the mix. Mississippi State is outside the Top 25, but they are receiving votes.
