Alabama and Auburn football fans: The wait is over. 

The SEC released the much-anticipated 2026 football schedules this week for its 16 teams. Every school will play nine conference games. 

On top of that gauntlet, each school is also required to schedule at least one opponent from the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten or Big 12 conferences or Notre Dame.

So how did our schools fare? See below:

First impressions?

Auburn’s away schedule is incredibly difficult: Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss and Alabama.

Alabama plays eight games before they get a bye week.
