SEC releases full 2026 football schedule

Five SEC teams are set to compete in the College Football Playoff, beginning on Dec. 19 with a conference showdown in Norman. But the other 11 schools are already focused on getting better for the 2026 season. Rosters are going to look quite different, adding through high school classes and the NCAA transfer portal.

Thursday brought a little clarity on how the schedules will look in 2026. Opponents were already known but the SEC put them to dates. You can check out each team’s full 2026 slate, including nonconference games, here.
