Oklahoma Football Reveals Kickoff Times for SEC Matchups

NORMAN — The Oklahoma Sooners football team has received updates on their game schedules. On Wednesday, ESPN announced the kickoff time ranges for SEC games, although only a few matchups have precise start times. The highly anticipated clash against Texas is set for 2:30 p.m. on October 10 in Dallas, with coverage provided by either ABC or ESPN.

Additionally, the Sooners are scheduled to visit Athens, Georgia, to take on the Bulldogs on September 26. However, this game has been designated as a flex matchup, meaning it will not kick off in the morning, and the exact time will be confirmed between six to twelve days before the game.

Aside from the Red River Rivalry, which is the only game with a specific kickoff time revealed on Wednesday, the Sooners' schedule remains largely undetermined. Fans can expect further announcements regarding precise start times in the future.

In terms of future planning, the Sooners have already been informed of two kickoff times for the 2026 season — against Michigan and New Mexico. Below is the upcoming schedule for 2026, with all times listed in Central Time:
