SEC Announces 2026 Football Schedule for Alabama, Texas, Georgia, All Teams

The 2026 football schedule for all SEC schools was unveiled on Thursday night.

The conference's top teams continued to excel this season, as Alabama, Georgia Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Texas A&M nearly made up half of the 2025-26 College Football Playoff field.

Here's a look at the SEC's schedule for the 2026 season.

Alabama took a step forward in its second year under head coach Kalen DeBoer, finishing with a 10-3 record and advancing to the SEC Championship Game.

Still, the Crimson Tide are looking to improve even further next season. They've lost at least three games in consecutive years, with Alabama's previous season recording three or more losses occurring in 2010.

The future is bright for the Crimson Tide, as they own the No. 2 recruiting class in the country as part of the 2026 cycle (via 247Sports' composite rankings).

While quarterback Ty Simpson's outlook at Alabama is uncertain with the 2026 NFL draft approaching, as resurgent season from receiver Ryan Williams could be enough to bolster the team's passing attack regardless of the starter under center.

Texas narrowly failed to secure a playoff spot this season, but still finished with a 9-3 record. The Longhorns also tallied impressive wins over Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt.

Quarterback Arch Manning could be back in the mix next year, as there's reportedly belief within the NFL that he should skip the draft and return for his junior season.

Manning steadily made progress throughout his 2025 campaign, completing 61.4 percent of his throws for 2,942 yards and 24 touchdowns compared to seven interceptions in 12 games. He also rushed for 244 yards and eight scores.

As for Georgia, the current SEC champions boast a 12-1 record and previously clinched a first-round bye in the CFP.

Head coach Kirby Smart's squad has put together a strong defense once again, ranking No. 2 in the conference by allowing a mere 15.9 points per game.

The Bulldogs should continue to excel defensively next season with linebackers Chris Cole, Justin Williams and Zayden Walker available to step in for C.J. Allen and Raylen Wilson as they potentially make the jump to the NFL.

First-year starting quarterback Gunner Stockton could also return and provide some stability to the position, as he has one year of eligibility remaining.
