SEC announces TV windows for all remaining conference-controlled games | Wednesday, 6:48 p.m.

When the SEC unveils the TV windows for the remaining conference-controlled games in 2026 during a live SEC Network special on Wednesday (6 p.m.), Texas fans will be one step closer to knowing when the Longhorns will be kicking off every game of Steve Sarkisian’s sixth season.

Still, the schedule isn’t expected to be set in stone.

The SEC typically utilizes a six-day window to announce kickoff times for flexed regular-season games. If a firm start time isn’t given, the game will be assigned one of four potential kickoff windows: the early window, with a kickoff time between 11 a.m. and noon; the afternoon (2:30-3:30 p.m.); the evening (5-7 p.m.); or it will be flexed for either an afternoon or evening kickoff.

Ahead of the TV window reveal, Texas has four game broadcasts locked in for the 2026 season:

Sept. 5 — Texas State (2:30 p.m., ESPN)

Sept. 12 — Ohio State (6:30 p.m., ABC)

Sept. 19 — UTSA (7 p.m., SEC Network+)

Nov. 27 — at Texas A&M (6:30 p.m., ABC)

The following games are the other SEC games on the Longhorns’ schedule. OTF will update the TV windows for each game as they're announced on Wednesday:

Sept. 26 — at Tennessee (11 a.m., ABC or ESPN)

Oct. 10 — Oklahoma (2:30 p.m., ABC or ESPN)

Oct. 17 — Florida (Early; 11 a.m.-noon)

Oct. 24 — Ole Miss (Flex; Afternoon or Night)

Oct. 31 — Mississippi State (Night; 5-7 p.m.)

Nov. 7 — at Missouri (Early; 11 a.m.-noon)

Nov. 14 — at LSU (Flex; Afternoon or Night)

Nov. 21 — Arkansas (Afternoon; 2:30-3:30 p.m.)

I'll update the initial post at the top of the thread when the windows for the Texas games are announced.

Going to at least the Tennessee game !

I can't imagine the Tennessee and LSU games as anything but prime-time kickoffs.

OU will probably be a 2:30 start.

Missouri won't be a prime-time game because the conference schedule is loaded that day with Alabama at LSU, Georgia at Ole Miss and OU at Florida.

The Ole Miss game could be in prime time.

I'd expect Mississippi State and Arkansas to get the early or afternoon windows.

That's one of two SEC bucket list trips for me, along with LSU.

The only downside to this is that we've got to sit through Finebaum callers to get to the TV window reveal.

This feels like a case of diminishing returns.

Let's get going.

Always a surprise seeing Gene Chizik on this set.
