The Southeastern Conference revealed the full 2026 schedule on Thursday evening with the league set to debut the first nine-game conference slate next fall.

In what will be Lane Kiffin's first season in Baton Rouge, the LSU Tigers have a myriad of blockbuster matchups on the docket - including a return to Oxford against Ole Miss in Week 3 alongside back-to-back games against Alabama and Texas.

Following an open date on Oct. 31, LSU’s November slate features back-to-back home games against Alabama on Nov. 7 followed by Texas on Nov. 14. The contest against Texas will mark the first meeting between the teams in Tiger Stadium since 1953.

LSU closes out the regular-season with road games against Tennessee on Nov. 21 and Arkansas on Nov. 28.
