By Ole Miss Sports
Ole Miss football now has its entire slate
for the 2025 season following a
primetime unveiling on ESPN2 and SEC
Network by the Southeastern Conference
on Wednesday night. The Rebels open
the season at home against Georgia State
on Aug. 30, 2025, before hitting the road
to open SEC play at Kentucky on Sept. 6.
Ole Miss returns home for a three-game
stretch at Vaught-Hemingway against
Arkansas (Sept. 13), Tulane (Sept. 20) and
LSU (Sept. 27) before the first of two bye
weeks. The Rebels return to action with a
key non-conference home matchup
against Washington State (Oct. 11), the
first-ever meeting between the Rebels
and Cougars. Following that contest, Ole
Miss hits the road for a two-game swing
at Georgia (Oct. 18) and Oklahoma (Oct.
25) – the latter constituting the first-ever
trip to Norman for the Rebels. Ole Miss
opens November with a three-game
homestand, first by welcoming South
Carolina (Nov. 1) to Oxford for the first
time since 2020, then The Citadel (Nov. 8)
for the first time since 2005, and finally
Florida (Nov. 15) also for the first time
since 2020. After a second bye, the Rebels
will close out the regular season in
Starkville with the annual Battle for the
Golden Egg against Mississippi State
(Nov. 29).
Similar to the 2024 SEC football schedule,
during the 2025 season teams will play
eight conference games plus one
required opponent from the ACC, Big
Ten, Big 12 or major independent.
Schools will play the same opponents in
2025 that they did in 2024, with sites
changed for equal home and away
competition over the course of two
seasons. This past season was the first to
feature newcomers Oklahoma and Texas
in the SEC. The 2025 schedule format was
approved by a vote of the SEC Presidents
and Chancellors earlier this year
following a recommendation from the
league’s Athletic Directors. The 2025
season will be the second year that the
SEC Championship Game will feature the
top two teams in the 16-team Conference
standings at the end of the regular
season after eliminating divisional
standings prior to the 2024 season.
