Birmingham, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference has established a scheduling format for the 2025 football season, it was announced Wednesday.
Similar to the 2024 SEC football schedule, during the 2025 season teams will play eight conference games plus one required opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 or major independent.
Schools will play the same opponents in 2025 that they are scheduled to play in 2024, with sites changed for equal home and away competition over the course of the two seasons.
Therefore in 2025, Texas will host Arkansas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, along with being the home team for the Allstate Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The Longhorns will travel for contests at Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi State. The full schedule of dates of games for the 2025 football season will be announced at a later time.
The 2025 schedule format was approved by a vote of the SEC Presidents and Chancellors last week following a recommendation from the league’s Athletics Directors.
The 2025 season will be the second year that the SEC Championship Game will feature the top two teams in the 16-team Conference standings at the end of the regular season. Beginning with the 2024 season, the SEC will eliminate divisional standings.
