Overview

• Each school will play nine league games each season, facing three annual opponents plus six rotating foes to meet every SEC team at least once every two years and visit every venue within four years.
• Annual opponent trios are locked through 2029 then subject to review, with examples including Alabama vs. Auburn, Tennessee and Mississippi State; Texas vs. Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Arkansas; and LSU vs. Arkansas, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.
• Traditional showpieces such as the Iron Bowl, Egg Bowl, Georgia–Florida and Texas–Oklahoma remain annual fixtures, including neutral-site arrangements where applicable.
• Some long-running annual series end as yearly games under this model, notably Alabama–LSU, Florida–Tennessee and Florida–LSU, which will now be played in alternating years with home-and-home rotation.
• The SEC also requires each program to schedule at least one nonconference opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 or Notre Dame every season to ensure a minimum of 10 power-level games.
