How to Watch: 2021 SEC Football Kickoff Media Days

It's that time of the year once again, except this time it's been a long wait.
The annual SEC Football Kickoff Media Days was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic out of safety concerns for both the coaches and players as well as the members of the media. This year, however, things are slowly returning back to normal.
The 14 head football coaches of the SEC as well as two select athletes from each team are slated to make appearances and speak to the media from Monday, July 19 though Thursday, July 22. Day 1 and Day 4 will each feature three teams while Days 2-3 will highlight four teams each.
Defending national champions Alabama will lead off Day 3 of the event, with head coach Nick Saban taking the stage at 10 a.m. CT. Defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis and wide receiver John Metchie III will be the two players representing the Crimson Tide.
Here is the full schedule with coaches' media availability times listed. While SEC Network will be broadcasting full coverage of the event live from Hoover, the full SEC media sessions with the coaches will be broadcast in their entirety, uninterrupted on SEC Network+.
