Southeastern Conference releases 2022 football schedule
STAFF REPORT
Alabama and Texas are slated to play the second week of the 2022 football season.
But as of Tuesday, it’s still a non-conference game.
The battle between college football “blue bloods” highlights the early portion of the schedule released by the Southeastern Conference for all 14 SEC schools for the 2022 season. Texas is scheduled to join the SEC along with Oklahoma in 2025.
Alabama and Texas have not payed on campus since the Crimson Tide visited Austin in 1922. The most recent meeting took place in the 2009 national championship game in Pasadena.
Auburn gets its return visit from Penn State in the third week of the season.
Alabama will face Vanderbilt as its rotating East team. Auburn will face Missouri
Each SEC team will play eight conference football games to include six games against division opponents and two games against non-division opponents. One of the non-division opponents will be a permanent annual opponent and the other non-division opponent will rotate each year.
The season begins with one game on Aug. 27 when Vanderbilt visits Hawaii before the remaining SEC schools begin action Sept. 3.
The 2022 season will culminate with the SEC Championship Game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday, December 3. It will be the 31st edition of the game and the 29th in the city of Atlanta.
