Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EDT, and the game will be broadcast on SEC Network+ with a broadcast team that includes Richard Cross, Max Starks and Ashlyn Sullivan.

Under head coach Josh Heupel, the Volunteers enter their sixth season, aiming to build on recent success and keep the program’s reputation for strong home performances alive.

The Sellout Streak

Neyland Stadium’s sellout streak, now in its 28th consecutive year, underscores the enduring popularity of Tennessee football and the draw of a high‑profile opener against a long‑time opponent.
