NORMAN — Mark your calendars, Oklahoma’s 2026 schedule is here. The conference schedule includes different opponents from OU’s first two seasons in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi State and Texas A&M. The Sooners will still play South Carolina, as well as its three permanent opponents — Texas, Mississippi and Missouri.

The Southeastern Conference announced its 2026 football schedule Thursday evening, completing Oklahoma's 12-game 2026 regular season football slate.

The Sooners will play six home games, as well as five true road games and the annual Red River Rivalry clash against Texas at the Cotton Bowl.

Alabama has been the biggest winner of the College Football Playoff era. OU, meanwhile, has been the biggest loser.

With early signing day in the rearview mirror, recruiters will now look to build up their 2026 rosters through the transfer portal. That method of roster additions proved crucial for Texas Tech, which won a Big 12 title and made the College Football Playoff after a transfer portal haul a year ago.
