The SEC’s Week 4 schedule now has kickoff times and TV assignments, and the league’s biggest showdowns are landing where you’d expect.
Texas A&M and LSU will close the night in Baton Rouge at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, a primetime stage that instantly puts that matchup in the spotlight.
Texas at Tennessee gets the noon window on ABC, while Ole Miss at Florida and Oklahoma at Georgia are both set for 3:30 p.m. ET, with their TV designations still to come next week.
The rest of the league slate fills out the day around those headliners. South Alabama visits Kentucky at 12:45 p.m.
ET on SEC Network, Vanderbilt travels to Auburn at 4:15 p.m. ET on SEC Network, South Carolina plays at Alabama at 7 p.m.
ET on ESPN, Missouri takes on Mississippi State at 7:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network and Tulsa visits Arkansas at 8 p.m.
ET on SEC Network+.
Here’s the full Week 4 lineup:
Texas at Tennessee - 12 p.m. ET - ABC
South Alabama at Kentucky - 12:45 p.m. ET - SEC Network
Ole Miss at Florida - 3:30 p.m. ET - ABC or ESPN
Oklahoma at Georgia - 3:30 p.m. ET - ABC or ESPN
Vanderbilt at Auburn - 4:15 p.m. ET - SEC Network
South Carolina at Alabama - 7 p.m. ET - ESPN
Texas A&M at LSU - 7:30 p.m. ET - ABC
Missouri at Mississippi State - 7:45 p.m. ET - SEC Network
Tulsa at Arkansas - 8 p.m. ET - SEC Network+
With Texas A&M-LSU locked into ABC’s primetime slot, the game becomes a natural candidate for College GameDay in Week 4. That said, Baton Rouge has already hosted the show once this season, and GameDay will be in Oxford in Week 3 when LSU faces Ole Miss.
Texas at Tennessee is another possible landing spot for the pregame show. And if GameDay looks outside the SEC, Boise State at Western Michigan could be in the mix as well, with the Broncos standing out as a leading CFP candidate from the Group-of-6 and Western Michigan already part of one of the season’s biggest talking points after its controversial Week 1 loss to Michigan.

Kentucky Just Landed In One Early Season Spotlight Again
Through the first two weeks of the 2026 college football season, Kentucky has already found itself tied to one of the sports biggest television draws. The Wildcats trip to Alabama landed among the most-watched games in the sport so far, part of a busy early slate that also featured Texas-Ohio State at the top of the list, along with heavyweight matchups like Oklahoma-Michigan, Wisconsin-Notre Dame and Clemson-LSU.
For a program that is often gauged not just by wins and losses but by how often it shows up in the national conversation, that kind of exposure matters. The weekly Nielsen tracking has made clear that the SEC is still the center of gravity for college footballs biggest audiences, and Kentuckys place on that list is another reminder that even early-season results can have a wide reach. The more interesting question now is whether the Wildcats can keep turning those kinds of spotlight games into something bigger once the ratings numbers stop and the real pressure starts.

Kentuckys 2027 Class Still Hinges On Two Huge Frontcourt Battles
Kentucky has at least gotten off the board early for 2027 with the addition of four-star forward Ryan Hampton, a useful first step as the Wildcats start shaping another recruiting class around size and long-term upside. Even so, the frontcourt picture is still very much in flux, especially after five-star power forward Marcus Spears Jr. wrapped up his recruitment early by choosing Texas.
That leaves Kentucky continuing to chase several other high-end bigs, with CJ Rosser and Lewis Uvwo both still in play as they sort through multiple programs. Both prospects have official visits on the schedule, and those trips should go a long way toward showing whether Kentucky can turn one early commitment into a stronger foundation in the paint.

Former Wildcats Just Sent A Loud Week 1 NFL Message
Seventeen former Kentucky players saw action across NFL Week 1, giving Wildcats fans plenty to track once the college calendar turned over to pro Sundays. The group made its presence felt in all three phases, with pass rushers, receivers and offensive linemen logging meaningful snaps for teams from one end of the league to the other.
ZaDarius Smith and Josh Hines-Allen were among the biggest defensive standouts, each piling up pressure off the edge, while Deone Walker was part of Buffalos late push in a tight win over Houston. WanDale Robinson also kept his name in the box score by leading his team in receptions and yards, and Luke Fortner was in the starting lineup at center, another reminder that Kentuckys pro pipeline is still producing players who are hard to miss when the games count.
