BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – The television broadcast times for all SEC football games for the upcoming 2024 season were announced Tuesday by the conference office and ESPN, in conjunction with the SEC Network. Exact start times and network designations will be announced closer to the games.
Kickoff times and networks for Florida's first three games have already been announced: the season opener against Miami (August 31) at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, the game against Samford (September 7) at 7 p.m. on SECN+/ESPN+, the conference opener against Texas A&M (September 14) at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, and Florida's game against Georgia (Nov. 2) at 3:30 p.m. on ABC from EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville.
The Gators' game at FSU is a non-SEC controlled game, so the ACC owns the rights and game time and television broadcast designation will be announced at a later date.
The four possible time slots are early morning (12:00-1:00 PM), afternoon (3:30-4:30 PM), evening (6:00-8:00 PM) and flex (3:30-8:00 PM). Each school may be assigned up to five flex games total, as well as up to three home games.
