About SEC scheduling

The SEC announced in August it would play a nine-game conference schedule starting with the 2026 season. In addition to the conference opponents, SEC teams are required to schedule at least one additional high-quality non-conference opponent from the ACC, Big Ten or Big 12 conferences or Notre Dame each season.

Under the new format:

• The SEC will continue with a single-standings, non-divisional structure;

• Each school will play three annual opponents focused on maintaining many traditional rivalries;

• Each team’s remaining six games will rotate among the remaining conference schools; and

• Each team will face every other SEC program at least once every two years and every opponent home and away in four years.

The top two teams in the league standings based on winning percentage will play in the 35th SEC Football Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday, Dec. 5.
