The Ole Miss Football team’s schedule for the 2025-2026 season was released on Wednesday, March 20. The conference schedule is identical to the 2024-2025 season’s slate with flipped locations. With quarterback Jaxson Dart and tight end Caden Prieskorn, as well as a plethora of receivers, projected to leave, the football program could look vastly different in a season’s time. Here is how the 2025-2026 schedule shapes up. Dates and times of games are to be announced.
Georgia
As long as Head Coach Kirby Smart is at the helm at Georgia, the Bulldogs look to be a daunting opponent for just about every team. With a slew of five-star players coming in, Georgia will retool after the loss of players such as quarterback Carson Beck, who will almost certainly declare for the NFL draft after next season. This game will be in Athens, Ga., and Rebel fans know what happened last time Ole Miss took the trip east.
Kentucky
Kentucky’s football team is an unknown for the 2025-2026 season. After underwhelming seasons in 2023, 2024 could be a breakout year for the Wildcats and an opportunity to build for 2025, when they will host Ole Miss. Alternatively, Kentucky could be bad again, depending on the development of their young players.
Mississippi State
The 2025-26 season will be Jeff Lebby’s second year as head coach of the Mississippi State football program. The Bulldogs have a young team and in Lebby’s second year, with his system firmly in place, the Bulldogs could be dangerous. Starkville, Miss., is the home of the Egg Bowl in 2025.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma could be one of the more dangerous teams in the SEC in 2025-2026. The Sooners will be firmly in the SEC with players who could make an impact. They will most likely benefit from transfers attracted to the SEC. Norman, Okla., is always a tough place to play, so we can expect the crowd to be very loud.
Arkansas
The Razorbacks have long been near the bottom of the SEC. With an influx of talent, the Razorbacks will look to finally make a push to the top of the conference. However, 2025 projects to be more like the last few years for the Razorbacks: disappointing.
Florida
The Gators are firmly in the middle of the pack, not being bad enough to be at the bottom but never good enough to be a serious contender. Who knows which transfers will be in and who will be gone? Who knows if Head Coach Billy Napier will still be the coach? Florida may be the biggest wild card on the 2025-2026 slate.
LSU
LSU is constantly a threat in the SEC, as they produce consistent NFL talent. Behind Head Coach Brian Kelly, the team should be very good even two years from now. Luckily, the Rebels will not have to travel to Death Valley for this matchup.
South Carolina
The Gamecocks are a lot like the Razorbacks, so most of what was said about that team applies here, too. The team should not be much of a challenge for the Rebel squad. However, Head Coach Shane Beamer is known for pulling at least one magnificent upset every year, so all we can do is hope that he does not in Oxford in 2025.
