Though the matchups were already known, the Sooners got the dates for their first nine-game SEC football schedule on Thursday night.

New Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris isn't shying away from bringing back the Bedlam rivalry with OU. He welcomes it "with open arms."

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 12-team College Football Playoff begins this week on Friday, with Alabama traveling to Oklahoma as a small favorite. Saturday will see Texas A&M host Miami (FL) as a 3.5-point favorite and Group of Five teams James Madison and Tulane try to pull off massive upsets against Oregon and Ole Miss,
