The SEC revealed the kickoff windows for each conference game coming up this season, giving us an idea of what to expect this fall. Though several games were left to the ‘flex’ option, a few kickoff times were solidified. Most notably, a noon kick in Knoxville against Texas, where Tennessee will checker Neyland Stadium.
The meeting between Tennessee and Texas will be the first ever regular season matchup between the schools.
Tennessee will hit the road in late October to face South Carolina in the afternoon window. The Volunteers will once again face Kentucky at night, while also playing Vanderbilt in Nashville at night.
The rest of the conference matchups were left as flex options for ABC/ESPN to designate at a later date.
Tennessee’s non-conference games, three to begin the season, were all revealed a few weeks ago. Tennessee will open on a Saturday afternoon against Furman before heading to Georgia Tech for a primetime kickoff on ESPN. The Volunteers will play at night against Kennesaw State in week three.
