The Southeastern Conference revealed its TV lineup and kickoff times for the first three weeks of the 2025 college football season on Thursday. The opening weekend of the 2025 season will feature four straight days of SEC action, kicking off Thursday, Aug. 28.
Central Arkansas takes on Missouri in Columbia. Auburn opens 2025 play a day later on Friday, Aug. 29, with a season-opening road game at Baylor that kicks off at 8 pm ET on FOX.
While ESPN remains the league’s prime media rights holder, FOX will feature plenty of SEC action. Week 1 has the highly-anticipated Texas at Ohio State showdown, a rematch of last season’s Cotton Bowl national semifinal, to kickoff the Saturday slate of games with a noon ET kick Aug. 30. LSU at Clemson, which is arguably the second-most anticipated game of the opening weekend, will cap off that first Saturday in primetime with a 7:30 pm ET kick on ABC.
The SEC begins its 2025 conference slate in Week 2 with Ole Miss at Kentucky in a 3:30 pm ET kickoff Saturday, Sept. 6 on ABC, which will also televise that night’s 7:30 pm ET showdown between Michigan and Oklahoma. ABC will air even more SEC-only action in Week 3 with Georgia at Tennessee kicking off at 3:30 pm ET on Sat, Sept. 13, and Florida at LSU at 7:30 pm ET.
