How Vanderbilt’s Future Football Schedule Comes Together
Each season Vanderbilt 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, Vanderbilt has three annual opponents (Auburn, Mississippi State and Tennessee) and rotates through the rest of the league, so the Commodores face every SEC program on a regular cycle rather than sticking to the old divisions.
As the SEC finalizes dates and Vanderbilt fills its remaining non-conference slots, this Vanderbilt future football schedule page updates so you always have the current opponent list in one place.
