SEC unveils league matchups for the next four seasons and keeps most rivalries intact
The SEC ensures traditional rivalries and competitive fairness with a rotating schedule where each team plays three annual opponents and visits every conference venue over four years.
- On Tuesday, the Southeastern Conference announced league matchups for the next four years, designating three annual opponents for each of its 16 teams.
- Prioritizing tradition, the SEC emphasized maintaining long-standing rivalries over geography and fairness, with the new format starting next year and running through 2029 with a four-year review option.
- The schedule guarantees that rotating opponents meet every other year and every team visits every SEC venue at least once in four years while rotating through 12 opponents.
- Several longstanding annual games will change, including Alabama-LSU and Florida-LSU no longer being annual, while the Lone Star Shootout will resume annually.
- The schedule revives long-dormant series such as the Missouri-Oklahoma series, played nearly every year from 1910–1995, and Arkansas-Texas, which ended annual play in 1991 after a 60-year run.
