How Tennessee’s Future Football Schedule Comes Together
Each season Tennessee plays a nine-game SEC slate the conference assigns, plus three non-conference games the school books on its own, often years ahead. Under the SEC’s current model, Tennessee has three annual opponents (Alabama, Kentucky and Vanderbilt) and rotates through the rest of the league, so the Volunteers face every SEC program on a regular cycle rather than sticking to the old divisions.
As the SEC finalizes dates and Tennessee fills its remaining non-conference slots, this Tennessee future football schedule page updates so you always have the current opponent list in one place.
