SEC Broadcast Schedule

NOTE: This list includes telecasts that fall under the TV contracts for the conference. Any road non-conference games fall under the home team's telecast rights.

The SEC has a network TV contract with CBS, a national cable deal with ESPN Networks and a regional syndication contract with ESPN Regional Television.

CBS has the rights to 12-15 regular season games and the conference championship. Up to two of those games can be non-conference games. CBS will always have the top choice of SEC games on a weekly basis. When CBS does a doubleheader that includes a primetime game, CBS can choose the top two games on a given weekend. When they do a doubleheader that includes a 12pm game, it must allow ESPN to reserve two games before selecting their next game.

ESPN Networks has the rights to remaining SEC home games, primarily prime time telecasts. ESPN Regional Television's primary syndicated game (aka SEC Network) will be in the early afternoon (12:21pm EST). ESPN has also reached syndication deals with CSS and the southeast-based FOX Sports regional networks for games. One game per team per season can be shown on a PPV or local TV basis.

Due to the acceptance of Texas A&M and Missouri as new members, plus negotiations between CBS and ESPN to allow the primetime telecast of LSU-Alabama in 2011, there may be alterations signed to the deals.
