The SEC announced on 2021 football schedules for all 14 SEC schools on Wednesday.
The 2021 schedule includes an opening date for each team and conference competitions scheduled each week, starting on Week Two, for 13 weekends.
Each SEC team will play eight conference football games, including six games against division opponents and two games against non-division opponents. One opponent of the non-division will be a permanent annual opponent and the other opponent of the non-division will rotate each year.
The season begins on the weekend of September 4 with 14 games, including two neutral games on the opening weekend.
“We are proud to have completed the 2020 football season in unique circumstances and now we are going to focus on playing the 2021 football season as scheduled,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey in a statement. “Circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 virus will continue to guide our decision making, should any adjustments need to be made.”
The 2021 season will culminate with the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday, December 4. It will be the 30th edition of the game and the 28th in the city of Atlanta.
