SEC Releases 2026–27 Men’s Basketball Conference Schedule

The release gives programs and fans a near-complete season roadmap, with broadcast windows and midweek dates still to be set.

Overview

  • The Southeastern Conference published the full 144-game, 18-game-per-team league slate on Monday, July 27, and confirmed the SEC Tournament for March 10–14, 2027 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
  • Each team will play all 15 other SEC opponents at least once and three opponents twice under the league's rotation model, which preserves two permanent home-and-away rivals plus a single annually rotating double-opponent.
  • Individual schools immediately posted their conference slates, which when combined with previously announced nonconference games complete most teams' regular-season calendars and fix dates and opponents for marquee home and neutral-site matchups.
  • Key logistical items remain unresolved: the league and its TV partners will set specific midweek placements, tip times and broadcast assignments in the coming weeks, which will affect travel plans and fan ticketing.
  • The schedule arrives as several SEC programs carry high national expectations, including multiple teams in ESPN’s early Top 25, and highlights program-level storylines such as Will Wade’s return to LSU and an earlier October exhibition window enabled by a new NCAA rule.
