Game Time Windows Announced For 2024 Football Schedule

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Game time windows on the ESPN Family of Networks for the 2024 Tennessee football schedule have been unveiled by ESPN and the Southeastern Conference.

All SEC-controlled games starting with Week 4 (Sept. 21) will have set television windows, with select games tagged as Flex games between the Afternoon and Night windows.

Television start time windows for Weeks 4-14 are defined as follows:

Early: 12 to 1 p.m. ET start
Afternoon: 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. ET start
Night: 6 to 8 p.m. ET start
Flex: Games flexed between the Afternoon (3:30-4:30 p.m. ET) and Night (6-8 p.m. ET) windows

The Volunteers have five Flex games on the slate, including Sept. 21 at Oklahoma, Oct. 5 at Arkansas, Oct. 12 vs. Florida, Oct. 19 vs. Alabama and Nov. 16 at Georgia. All of these games will feature a start time somewhere between 3:30-4:30 p.m. ET or 6-8 p.m. ET.

Tennessee's consecutive home games against Kentucky (Nov. 2) and Mississippi State (Nov. 9) will feature night kickoffs in Neyland Stadium in the 6-8 p.m. ET window. The Mississippi State contest serves as Homecoming, and it will be the Vols' first night Homecoming tilt since 2019. It's the fourth straight year that UT and Kentucky will face off at night.
