The Southeastern Conference on Tuesday released each team’s conference opponents for the next four seasons. As On3’s Chris Low first reported Monday, Georgia, South Carolina and Kentucky will be the permanent opponents for the Florida Gators.

The SEC announced in August it would play a nine-game conference schedule starting with the 2026 season. In the new format, each SEC school will play every member institution at least once every two years as well as home and away over four years.

Florida and Oklahoma will have their first-ever regular season matchup in 2026, and UF won’t play Tennessee for the first time since 1989. The Gators played Auburn every season from 1945-2002, but next year’s meeting is just the fifth in the last 20 years.

In 2027, the Florida-Georgia game will head to Tampa for the first time since 1919, which marked just the third meeting between the two teams.

Here is UF’s SEC slate from 2026-29.
