Mississippi State and Ole Miss fans can set their clocks for this coming season, more or less.
The Southeastern Conference released kickoff times and television windows for conference games in 2026. This does not apply to each team’s conference opener, which already have set times and networks.
The Bulldogs host Louisiana-Monroe at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 5, while the Rebels open the season against Louisville in Nashville at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 6.
There are four “windows” a team can be put in, which are time slots that a game can kick off within. There’s the early window (11 a.m.-12 p.m. CT), afternoon (2:30-3:30 p.m.), night (5 p.m.-7 p.m.) and flex (either 2:30-3:30 or 5-7).
Four of Ole Miss’s nine SEC games will be in a flex slot, including at Texas on Saturday, Oct. 24 and vs. Georgia on Saturday, Nov. 7. They were also given two afternoon slots and one early slot on Saturday, Oct. 31 against Auburn at home.
Mississippi State has three conference games in the early window, two in the flex and two at night; at home vs. Missouri on Saturday, Sept. 26 and on Oct. 31 at Texas.
The Egg Bowl is locked in for Friday, Nov. 27 in Oxford at 11 a.m. on ABC.
