Catch A Game in 2026
It's never too early to start making your plans to join us at Williams-Brice Stadium
The experiences you’ll have at Williams-Brice Stadium can’t be matched by staying at home.
From the roar of the crowd, to towels waving to Sandstorm, to the flashing lights after a Carolina touchdown, there’s only one place to Catch A Game and that’s at Williams-Brice Stadium.
So make your plans today to join us in our home for the 2026 season!
Beginning with the 2026 season, we will play Florida, Georgia and Kentucky each year for the next four seasons as part of the SEC’s new nine-game schedule. The remaining six conference games on our schedule will rotate among the remaining SEC schools from 2026-29. In this new format, we will play every SEC school at least once every two years, and every opponent home and away over four years.
Game time windows for the 2026 season will be released in June.
