SEC announces LSU's 2025 football schedule
The SEC league office revealed the playing dates for next year’s conference schedule on Wednesday night and a mid-September meeting with Florida in Tiger Stadium along with October home games against South Carolina and Texas A&M highlight LSU’s 2025 football schedule.
LSU opens league play on Sept. 13 in Tiger Stadium against Florida. Then Brian Kelly’s team hosts South Carolina on Oct. 11, Texas A&M on Oct. 25 and closes out the league home slate against Arkansas on Nov. 15.
On the road, the Tigers travel to face Ole Miss on Sept. 27, Vanderbilt on Oct. 18, Alabama on Nov. 8 and Oklahoma on Nov. 29 in what will be LSU’s first game in Norman.
LSU’s schedule features two open dates – Oct. 4 and Nov. 1. The first open date comes before the South Carolina game, while LSU will have its traditional open date the week prior to the Alabama game.
The remainder of the 2025 schedule had previously been announced with the Tigers opening the year at Clemson on Aug. 30. That game marks LSU’s first trip to Clemson and the first time the teams will meet during the regular-season. All four previous meetings between the teams have come during the postseason, which includes a 42-25 LSU win in the CFP National Championship in 2019.

LSU opens its home season on Sept. 6 against Louisiana Tech. Other non-conference games for the Tigers in 2025 include Southeastern Louisiana on Sept. 20 and the home finale against Western Kentucky on Nov. 22.
Brian Kelly continues to build the foundation of LSU’s roster in hopes of getting to the College Football Playoffs in 2025. As Garrett Nussmeier announces his return along with the development of younger players, the Tigers hope to build a championship contender with a combination of returners and transfer portal additions in the coming weeks.
Kelly continues to promise that he’s going to get it done in Baton Rouge, even amidst the adversity of the portal and the SEC schedule.
“There’s seven players with one year experience on defense that just beat the pants off of Oklahoma, that’s pretty good,” Kelly said after the win over Oklahoma. “They’re 5-3. We played a lot of young players this year. When you take the body of work, we had three games where we had the lead late in the third quarter. I could go on and on about here’s where we’re going to be in January. Yesterday, at the hotel, 21 true freshmen made the travel roster. We’re going to introduce 16 mid-year freshmen into this roster. That’s what our roster looks like. That’s exciting. That coupled with key players coming back, that’s what is pretty exciting. When we’re finished with this roster, this roster will compete at the highest level.”
