KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The SEC announced Wednesday each school’s home and away matchups for the upcoming 2025-26 men’s basketball season.
The conference slate will run from Jan. 3 to March 7, with each team playing 18 games. Tennessee will face three teams both at home and on the road: Alabama, Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
The Volunteers are slated to host nine SEC games on their home floor. Tennessee will play Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt at Food City Center. The outings against the Sooners and Longhorns will be the first in conference play in Knoxville in each series.
Tennessee will face Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina and Vanderbilt on the road.
This year’s home/away designations for Tennessee are nearly an exact reverse of 2024-25, with the lone exception being Alabama replacing Florida as a home-and-home matchup, while the Gators become a road-only foe.
The Volunteers are coming off one of the best campaigns in program history, as they went 30-8 (12-6 SEC) and reached the Elite Eight for the second year in a row. Tennessee, also for the second consecutive year, finished fifth nationally in the AP Poll, Coaches Poll and KenPom rankings.
