Early-season SEC games get kickoff times, TV designations

On Thursday, all of the major networks announced TV designations and kickoff times for the majority of the opening salvo of the 2025 college football season.

Marquee Week 0/1 games involving SEC teams had previously been announced. Some schools, like Alabama and LSU, only saw 2 of their early games receive kick times. Others, like Georgia and Texas, saw upwards of 6. Several SEC teams will be featured on non-network partners in 2025. Auburn and Baylor will take place on FOX on Aug. 29. Texas A&M and Notre Dame will play on NBC on Sept. 13. Texas will face Ohio State on FOX to open the season.

For the rest, games will take place across the ESPN family of networks.
