SEC Media Days to be held in Atlanta ahead of 2025 college football season
SEC Media Days are currently taking place in Dallas, Texas, but next year’s event will return to the heart of the SEC. Commissioner Greg Sankey announced on Monday that 2025 SEC Media Days will be held in Atlanta.
To be more specific, the event will take place at the College Football Hall of Fame.
“I’m going to announce a little bit of news,” Greg Sankey said. “We’ve moved around from Birmingham to Atlanta to Nashville and now Dallas, and in 2025 we’re going to return to Atlanta and the College Football Hall of Fame for our football Media Days.”
Holding the event in Atlanta makes sense as several SEC schools are close by, making it an easy trip for coaches, athletes and media members.
Atlanta is also the home of the SEC Championship game, which will be held Dec. 7 of this year.
The 2024 season marks a new era for the SEC with Texas and Oklahoma coming on board. The addition of the former Big 12 powers led to this year’s event being held in Dallas.
SEC Media Days Schedule – 2024
SEC Media Days is taking place from July 15-18 at the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas.
This is the first time the event has been held in Dallas. It is also the fourth different location for the SEC’s premier preseason event, which has previously been hosted in Atlanta, Birmingham and Nashville.
The two league newcomers will be in the meat of the schedule, with Oklahoma set to participate on Tuesday, July 16, while Texas is set to participate a day later, on Wednesday, July 17. Both are likely to draw heavy interest after excellent 2023 campaigns.
The entire lineup features plenty of intrigue for the fans.
LSU and third-year coach Brian Kelly will help kick things off on the opening day, while playoff hopeful Lane Kiffin and his Ole Miss Rebels will also take part on the first day in action at the SEC Media Days.
Powerhouse Georgia and coach Kirby Smart will be the feature on Day 2, though playoff hopeful Eli Drinkwitz and his Missouri squad will also be present and will likely get plenty of interest.
