BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The television time windows for all SEC-controlled football matchups for the upcoming 2024 season were announced by the conference office and ESPN on Tuesday in conjunction with SEC Network. Exact start times and network designations will be announced as the games approach.
Previously, Florida’s first three kickoff times and network selections were announced that featured the season-opener vs. Miami (Aug. 31) at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, Samford (Sept. 7) at 7 p.m. on SECN+/ESPN+ and conference-opener against Texas A&M (Sept. 14) at 3:30 p.m. on ABC. Also the Florida-Georgia (Nov. 2) rivalry is set for 3:30 p.m. on ABC in Jacksonville at EverBank Stadium.
The Gators game at FSU is a non-controlled SEC game, therefore the ACC owns the rights and will announce the game time and television designation at a later date.
