Florida men’s basketball has received its Southeastern Conference home-and-away assignments for the upcoming 2025–26 season, as announced by the SEC on Wednesday.

Under the current scheduling format, the Gators maintain their annual home-and-away series with Georgia and South Carolina, and will also face Kentucky twice as part of this year’s rotational two-game pairing.

SEC Matchups Breakdown:

  • Home & Away: Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina
  • Home Only: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Tennessee
  • Away Only: Ole Miss, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt


Seven of Florida’s nine home SEC opponents appeared in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The Gators will travel to Texas for the first time since 1997 and make their third visit to Oklahoma (previously in January 2017 and December 2021), marking their first SEC matchup in Norman. With Kentucky added to the two-game rotation, Tennessee rotates off—Florida will host the Vols for their lone regular-season meeting.


Beyond the SEC slate, Florida has already announced several high-profile nonconference matchups, including a road game at Duke (ACC-SEC Challenge), neutral-site contests against Arizona (Las Vegas), UConn (New York), and a Thanksgiving tournament in San Diego featuring Providence, TCU, and Wisconsin. The Gators will also host Florida State in their annual rivalry showdown.
