Mississippi State’s 2022 football schedule got a lot clearer Thursday with the announcement of kickoff times for its first three games this season as well as the Egg Bowl rivalry game with Ole Miss.
The school also announced that its Nov. 19 matchup with East Tennessee State would be shown on either ESPN+ or SEC Network Plus.
The Bulldogs’ season opener against Memphis will kick off at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 3. The game will be televised on ESPNU.
On Sept. 10, Mississippi State will travel to Tucson to face the Arizona Wildcats. That contest will kick off at 10 p.m. Central on Fox Sports 1.
The Bulldogs’ first Southeastern Conference game will begin at 5 p.m. Sept. 17 at LSU and will be televised on ESPN.
Once again, MSU’s game against Ole Miss to close out the regular season will be played on Thanksgiving Day. The contest is set for a 6 p.m. kickoff on ESPN from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford.
Kickoff times for the rest of the Bulldogs’ conference games, as well as nonconference contests with Bowling Green and ETSU, have yet to be revealed.
MSU will be heading into its third season under coach Mike Leach. The Bulldogs finished last year with a 7-6 record, losing to Texas Tech in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
