On Thursday evening, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released the full 2026 schedule, giving a glimpse of what's in store for league members as the conference undergoes a historic shift. As the league moves from an eight-game schedule to a nine-game schedule next season, the conference will play a whopping 72 games.
The increase in SEC games will make the season even more taxing for teams, especially in an era where up to five postseason games may need to be played. But it's a big win for season ticket holders and fans alike, as there will be more meaningful games than ever before.
SEC schools will also be required to play at least one Power Four (or Our Lady) every year, meaning that in 2026 and beyond, at least 10 of every SEC team's 12 games will be against Power Four opponents. The moves are just the latest big changes to how the SEC sets its football schedule in the new College football Playoff landscape.
The 2024 season brings additions Oklahoma And Texas from the Big 12 and uprooting the league's long-established divisional structure. As a result, some games that were once held annually will now only be played twice in four years.
Each SEC team's 2026 schedule can be viewed below.
