The SEC’s Week 4 schedule now has start times and TV windows, and the league is putting its biggest games in the spots you’d expect.
Texas A&M and LSU will close the night in Baton Rouge, landing the primetime ABC slot at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Texas at Tennessee gets ABC’s noon window at 12 p.m. ET, setting up one of the day’s early national showcases.
Ole Miss at Florida and Oklahoma at Georgia will both kick at 3:30 p.m. ET, with those TV designations still to be announced next week.
The full slate gives Week 4 a heavy top-end feel. South Alabama at Kentucky is set for 12:45 p.m.
ET on SEC Network. Vanderbilt at Auburn will kick at 4:15 p.m.
ET on SEC Network. South Carolina at Alabama is scheduled for 7 p.m.
ET on ESPN. Missouri at Mississippi State lands at 7:45 p.m.
ET on SEC Network, while Tulsa at Arkansas is set for 8 p.m. ET on SEC Network+.
Here’s the complete 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 getting the night ABC window, it also looks like a strong candidate for College GameDay in Week 4. The show has already been to Baton Rouge once this season, though, and will be in Oxford in Week 3 for the Tigers’ trip to Ole Miss.
Texas-Tennessee is another possible GameDay destination. If the show goes outside the SEC altogether, Boise State at Western Michigan could enter the conversation. The Broncos are viewed as a leading CFP candidate from the Group-of-6, and Western Michigan was at the center of one of the season’s biggest stories with its controversial Week 1 loss to Michigan.

Tennessee Looked Dominant But One Problem Kept This Win From Feeling Complete
Tennessee handled Georgia Tech 45-24, and the final score fit the way the Volunteers controlled much of the night. The running backs brought the kind of downhill punch that kept the offense on schedule, Faizon Brandon looked composed at quarterback, and the defense did enough to tilt the game in Tennessees favor with sacks and interceptions that repeatedly stalled Yellow Jackets drives.
Still, the performance never felt fully polished. The offensive line had stretches that were solid but not spotless, and special teams introduced enough mistakes to keep the win from feeling as clean as the margin suggested. Even with the lopsided result, the penalties and kicking-game issues left Tennessee with a clear next step before this team can call a strong outing complete. [Read more 🡒]
Tennessee's Kennesaw State Game Has A Knoxville Twist Fans Will Notice
No. 14 Tennessees Week 3 date with Kennesaw State at Neyland Stadium brings the kind of nonconference matchup the Vols are expected to handle, but there is a little Knoxville flavor baked into it. The game will air on SEC Network and will be the first meeting between the programs, yet the Owls will arrive with a familiar name on the roster in redshirt freshman kicker Daniel Kinney, a former Bearden High School athlete.
Kinney has already gotten into games for Kennesaw State and handled himself well on field goals and extra points, which gives this trip a touch more local interest than your typical early-season tuneup. For Tennessee fans, it adds one more storyline to a game that otherwise should be about the Vols doing what ranked teams are supposed to do, even if one nearby face gives the crowd something extra to track.

Which Former Vol Delivered Week 1s Biggest NFL Moment
Opening week of the 2026 NFL season offered plenty for Tennessee fans to track, with a handful of former Vols turning in notable showings around the league. Josh Palmer delivered the biggest headline, hauling in a game-winning touchdown for the Buffalo Bills, while Trey Smith and Darnell Wright each started and played every offensive snap for their teams. A broader roundup of Tennessee alumni also included several players making their NFL debuts or getting on the field in game action.
For a program that routinely sends talent into the league, the first weekend served as another reminder of how wide the Volunteer footprint can stretch once the season begins. Some names flashed in the spotlight right away, others quietly handled full workloads up front, and a few were just taking their first steps as pros. The full list of contributions was long enough to fill out a useful early-season snapshot, even if the most memorable moment belonged to Palmer. [Read more 🡒]
