Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin worked the sidelines as the Kentucky Wildcats faced off against the Ole Miss Rebels at Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Ole Miss defeated Kentucky, 30-23.

According to On3’s Chris Low on Monday, Ole Miss will face LSU, Mississippi State and Oklahoma as its three annual SEC opponents.

In the new nine-team league schedule, each school will have three annual opponents that will be re-evaluated every four years and six rotational opponents, meaning each school will play every other SEC school at least once every two years and every opponent home and away in a four-year span.

The SEC will announce the football opponents of every league school for the next four years on Tuesday in an hour-long television special at 6 p.m. CT on the SEC Network and ESPN2.

Discuss the trio of opponents for Ole Miss on the Rebel Grove message board.

The television show on Tuesday will provide matchups and sites for schools’ SEC games over the next four years. The dates of games for the 2026 season will be announced in December.

The three annual opponents for each school, sources told On3, are as follows:

Alabama – Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State

Arkansas – Missouri, Texas, LSU

Auburn – Georgia, Alabama, Vanderbilt

Florida – Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky

Georgia – Auburn, Florida, South Carolina

Kentucky – South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida

LSU – Arkansas, Ole Miss, Texas A&M

Mississippi State – Ole Miss, Alabama, Vanderbilt

Missouri – Arkansas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma

Oklahoma – Texas, Ole Miss, Missouri

Ole Miss – Mississippi State, LSU, Oklahoma

South Carolina – Georgia, Kentucky, Florida

Tennessee – Alabama, Vanderbilt, Kentucky

Texas – Texas A&M, Arkansas, Oklahoma

Texas A&M – Texas, LSU, Missouri

Vanderbilt – Tennessee, Mississippi State, Auburn

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin mentioned the “bottom” of the SEC is going to continue to be tough as the league moves to a nine-game conference schedule. Kiffin and the Rebels dispatched Tulane, 45-10, on Saturday.

“Really relieving, I know this for me, for our fans,” Kiffin said. “It was because we really didn’t need another one of those type of games. I think in this conference, you’re gonna have a lot of them. I’ve said that this model is set up that the SEC bottom is gonna be really strong, so you’re gonna have a lot of hard games, eight of them, and then nine starting next year because the portal and teams may be down there, they’re gonna fill the voids. Used to take maybe two years to get out of there, out of the bottom. So this was good to have against a team that normally doesn’t have a score like that against them.”
