2025 SEC Football schedule (with dates) revealed next week

We already know Kentucky’s opponents for next season. In one week, we’ll have the complete schedule with dates.

The SEC will reveal the 2025 football schedule next Wednesday, Dec. 11 during a two-hour primetime special on the SEC Network. The show will start at 7 p.m. ET, with the first hour simulcasting on ESPN2 and the second hour airing exclusively on the SEC Network. The basketball team plays Colgate at 8 p.m. ET that night on ESPN2, so, assuming they reveal the schedule and then react to it, you’ll be able to watch the show leading into the Cats’ game vs. the Raiders.

The special will be hosted by Dari Nowkhah, Alyssa Lang, Roman Harper, Paul Finebaum, and Benjamin Watson, with select SEC head coaches joining to react to their team’s draws. Next season SEC teams will play eight conference games plus one required opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, or major independent. Schools will play the same SEC opponents in 2025 that they played in 2024, with sites changed for equal home and away competition over the course of the two seasons.
