Key dates to know
- Season kickoff: Tennessee's regular season opens in late August or early September each year, with Neyland Stadium hosting most non-conference and several SEC home games.
- SEC play: Tennessee plays a conference schedule as part of the SEC's single-standings, non-divisional format — the top two teams in the standings meet in the SEC Championship Game in early December, traditionally hosted at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
- Rivalry weekend: The Tennessee-Alabama game — known as the "Third Saturday in October" — is one of the sport's longest-running rivalries, and the Vols also face annual rivals Kentucky and Vanderbilt to close out conference play.
- Postseason: Tennessee has been a regular participant in bowl season and the College Football Playoff era, with games airing across ABC and the ESPN family.
The Volunteers storyline: SEC tradition in Knoxville
Tennessee's football history includes multiple national championships, with the program's most recent recognized title coming in 1998 under head coach Phillip Fulmer. Josh Heupel, Tennessee's head coach since 2021, has rebuilt the Vols into one of the SEC's most explosive offenses and a consistent Playoff contender. Neyland Stadium — one of the largest venues in college football, seating more than 100,000 — remains one of the toughest atmospheres in the country, especially for the "Third Saturday in October" clash with Alabama, a rivalry with decades of history. Tennessee's annual rivalries with Kentucky and Vanderbilt round out a schedule built around some of the SEC's oldest traditions.
