The meat of Tennessee’s 2024 football schedule will take place inside Neyland Stadium.
Josh Heupel’s fourth season as head coach of the Volunteers includes a challenging September trip to Oklahoma, his alma mater, but Tennessee will host Florida on Oct. 12 and Alabama on Oct. 19. The Vols will then have an open date before hosting Kentucky on Nov. 2 and Mississippi State on Nov. 9, giving them four home games and a Saturday off during a five-week stretch.
The Southeastern Conference released its entire 2024 schedule Wednesday night via a two-hour broadcast on the SEC Network. The 2024 SEC season will be the first with 16 member institutions due to the arrivals of Oklahoma and Texas, and it will be the first without divisions since 1991.
Each league member in 2024 will have two open dates.
Tennessee will open next season Aug. 31 by hosting the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The Vols will then travel to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, to face N.C. State on Sept. 7 in a neutral-site showdown.
