By Andrew Olson

All 16 SEC teams now have an idea of when every game on the 2026 schedule will be played. ESPN, the SEC’s media rights partner, announced the kickoff windows for every remaining game.

The windows are defined as Early (Noon to 1 p.m. ET start), Afternoon (3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET start), Night (6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET start) or Flex (Afternoon or Night window). Previous kickoff announcements included the first 3 weeks and marquee Black Friday rivalry games.

After Wednesday’s announcement, every game on the 2026 SEC football schedule has at least a window. Some games, such as Texas at Tennessee and Florida vs. Georgia in Atlanta received exact kickoff times. Many major games now have window assignments to be determined later by the SEC and ESPN.

Here’s how the full schedule looks, week by week:
