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.)

Disappointed that the game at Tenn will be 11 AM CST as I was looking forward to a Night Game. What are they going to do: Put LSU and The Aggies as the night game?

I am disappointed with it as well. Thought it would be the perfect game for the night slot.

But, for years the SEC has tried to force an LSU and Texas A&M rivalry. Feels like they are once more coercing folks to believe that game matters outside of the two fanbases.

Texas and Florida: 

EARLY window on Oct. 17. 

Will be an 11:00 a.m. or noon CT kickoff.

 

Traveling from wisco for the game. Bummer it wasn’t a night game but it’s my first game back in Austin since the double OT win over K state. 
 

what’s an October noon game like temperature wise? It’s no August game, but is it still pretty warm?

I think this is the permanent time. Which I love. 

On the love scale of dancing on the food court table to not dancing on a food court table, where does it land?

That Rose Bowl is the game Lincoln Riley will take to his grave.

That’s a shame

Jeff, the Mississippi State night game is also Alumni Band Night. Typically, more Alumni show up for night games so combined bands could be well over 1,000 marching.
