OXFORD, Miss — The Southeastern Conference and ESPN announced Tuesday that approximate start times and TV assignments for Ole Miss’ remaining eight games of the 2024 season have been set, according to Ole Miss Athletics.
The Southeastern Conference and ESPN designated TV windows for all games after week 3 as a new benefit of the new conference rights agreement, according to a press release from Ole Miss Athletics.
Television start time windows for Weeks 4-14 are defined as follows:
- Early: 11 a.m. to noon start
- Afternoon: 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. start
- Night: 5 to 7 p.m. start
- Flex: Games flexed between the afternoon (2:30 to 3:30 p.m.) and night (5 to 7 p.m.) windows
Ole Miss’ home game vs. Georgia Southern (Sept. 21) will kick off on SEC Network at 6:45 p.m., marking the second all-time meeting between the Rebels and Eagles, the release said.
The Rebels’ SEC opener vs. Kentucky (Sept. 28) is slated for an 11 a.m. kick on either ABC or ESPN. Ole Miss holds a 29-14-1 series advantage against the Wildcats.
October will begin with a road game at South Carolina (Oct. 5). The matchup between Rebels and Gamecocks has been selected within the flex window and will occur either in the afternoon (2:30 to 3:30 p.m.) or night (5 to 7 p.m.).
The annual Magnolia Bowl vs. LSU (Oct. 12) will take place during the night window (5 to 7 p.m.) and is TBA on TV network. LSU is Ole Miss’ second-most played opponent behind only Mississippi State.
