The SEC football unveiled its complete 2026 schedule on Thursday. LSU learned its opponents earlier this year — now the games have dates attached.
As usual, the Tigers' schedule is challenging. Even more so in 2026 as the SEC moves to a nine-game schedule for the first time. Along with nine conference games, LSU opens the season vs. a Power Four opponent in Clemson. LSU went to Clemson last year but now Dabo Swinney brings his crew to Death Valley.
LSU will open conference play on Sept. 19 at Ole Miss. That game will have plenty of narrative as LSU head coach Lane Kiffin makes his return to Oxford after his dramatic exit earlier this year.
LSU's first SEC home game is a week later vs. Texas A&M. The Tigers will look for revenge after the Aggies scored 49 points in LSU's house in 2025.
Three teams on LSU's 2026 schedule are in this year's playoff — Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Alabama. Two of those three games are at home.
LSU's final home game of the year will come vs. Texas on Nov. 14. The Tigers will finish the regular season with two SEC road games at Tennessee and Arkansas.
