The Sooners will open the league portion at home against Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vanderbilt, while they will hit the road to face Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, Missouri, Texas and Texas A&M.
Home‑and‑Home Matchups for Oklahoma
For Oklahoma, the home‑and‑home matchups this season are Georgia, Missouri and Texas, giving the team a balanced mix of familiar rivals and new challenges.
Conference play is slated to tip off on Saturday, Jan. 2, and will run through Saturday, March 6, culminating in the SEC Tournament in Nashville from March 10‑14 at Bridgestone Arena.
The tournament will bring together the league’s top teams in a single‑site showdown, continuing a tradition that has helped cement the SEC’s reputation as a powerhouse in March.
In recent years the conference has been a national force, with a nation‑leading ten league teams qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in the 2025‑26 season and 24 squads making the field over the past two years.
While game times, dates and television designations will be announced later, the schedule already sets the stage for a competitive race that could shape NCAA seeding and future rankings.
