LSU football’s 2026 schedule has been released by the SEC as part of a conference-wide schedule reveal in a special on SEC Network Thursday night.

The SEC previously announced each program’s conference opponents for the next four seasons under the new scheduling rules on September 23.

The SEC’s new rules implemented a nine-game conference schedule, while also requiring each team to play a team from a Power Four conference as one of its non-conference opponents.

The new rules also require each program to face all 15 other SEC teams every two years and to have played in every venue in four years.

Whoever LSU plays at home in 2026 will be away in 2028, with the same being true for the 2027 and 2029 seasons.
