What we know about Tennessee Football's remaining schedule, kickoff times
Not much was determined for Tennessee Football when the SEC announced the November 2 conference schedule on Monday. The Vols will host Kentucky next Saturday with kickoff set for either 7:30 or 7:45 p.m. Eastern Time. The game will be broadcast by either ESPN, ABC or SEC Network.
The final determinations will be made and announced this weekend, while the seventh-ranked Vols (6-1, 3-1 SEC) enjoy their second by week coming off the 24-17 win over Alabama Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Of the remaining five games on Tennessee’s schedule, only one already has a set kickoff time. The UTEP game on November 23 will be a 1 p.m. ET start in Knoxville and will be available as an online live stream via SEC Network+.
Kickoff times for four of Tennessee’s final five games not yet determined
Start-time specifics and TV information for Tennessee’s other four other games — Kentucky next week, the November 9 home game against Mississippi State, the road game at No. 2 Georgia on November 16 and the regular-season finale at Vanderbilt on November 30 — will be announced at later dates.
There will be at least two more night games for the Vols, thanks to the SEC’s predetermined kickoff windows. Those windows were announced before the season and include early games (12-1 p.m. ET), afternoon games (3:30-4:30 p.m.), night games (6-8 p.m.) or flex games (3:30-430 or 6-8 p.m.).
The Mississippi State game, like the Kentucky game before it, is set for the night-game window. The Georgia game is currently set in the flex window at Sanford Stadium in Athens, meaning kickoff will be either between 3:30-4:30 p.m. or 6-8 p.m. The Vanderbilt game will be an early kickoff in Nashville, starting between Noon-1 p.m. ET.
