SEC Nation kicking off 2021 season in Atlanta

SEC Nation, the widely-viewed pregame show for the conference network, announced the debut for 2021 will include a double-header.

The first chance for fans to tune in will be on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 6:30 p.m. ET as the show airs live from the College Football Hall of Fame ahead of Bowling Green at Tennessee to start the SEC slate of games.

On September 4, SEC Nation will pull out the full slate with appearances from multiple hosts, analysts, experts, and on-air talent. The Nation crew previews a full day of action on-site in Atlanta on September 4 as the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide play No. 14 Miami at 3:30 p.m. ET in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.

On Thursday and Saturday, the SEC Nation broadcast will be live from the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, but for the rest of the season, fans can tune in at 10:00 a.m. EST every Saturday.

Who will we see as analysts, hosts and talent?

Laura Rutledge returns as host for her fifth season, her sixth on the show overall, alongside Paul Finebaum, Roman Harper, Jordan Rodgers and Tim Tebow for a weekly breakdown of the SEC football action to come.

Additionally, the season debut of Marty & McGee Presented by Old Trapper is live on Saturday morning from the Hall of Fame from 9-10 a.m., as Marty Smith and Ryan McGee meet at the intersection of southern lifestyle and college football to bring viewers the latest headlines, Hillbilly and otherwise, across the SEC landscape.

Marty & McGee will be live on the road with SEC Nation every Saturday this fall. The Hall of Fame will also be home to The Paul Finebaum Show Presented by Johnsonville for Week 1, with both Thursday and #FinebaumFriday live from Atlanta from 3-7 p.m.

A limited number of fans will be admitted for Saturday’s show with access granted on a first come, first serve basis. Fans in attendance will be required to wear face masks in accordance with the mandate in place for the city of Atlanta.
