The Southeastern Conference is expected to stay with eight conference games through at least the 2025 season, sources told 247Sports.

The conference schedule model isn’t changing, but the start times will be as soon as 2024.

Desiring an all-day SEC football feel, SEC Network game start times can now be pushed back 45 minutes to lead to more staggered finishes, i.e. moving from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. CT. kickoff time. A typical SEC Network slate would now look like 11:45 a.m. CT, 3:15 p.m. CT and 6:45 p.m. CT while ABC and ESPN games would keep their typical start times. The SEC and ESPN will have the ability to flex ABC and ESPN afternoon and night games a limited amount of times per school.

Source: The SEC will announce that it is sticking with an eight-game schedule for 2025, with each team playing the same opponents it has in 2024, just flipping the locations.

I still believe that they're keeping this whole schedule thing year-to-year because they know another round of expansion is incoming soon and there is no reason to finalize things until that occurs.

So Texas and Alabama both get Vandy two years in a row?




Also, now 2026 will be the earliest A&M can visit Lexington and host UGA for the first time as members of the SEC.
