The SEC has set an announcement date for the 2024 schedule.

With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the conference coming next year, there's been an ongoing discussion as to whether or not the format of the schedule changes, how many games in conference play are had, and whether or not certain rivalries are kept for the betterment of the league.

The SEC's 2024 schedule will be announced on June 14 on special primetime show on SEC Network, per Brett McMurphy of the Action Network. Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger reports that The 2024 schedules are being released on June 14 on the SEC Network (matchups only - not dates).

McMurphy also reports that the SEC will stick with an eight-game conference schedule once the Longhorns and Sooners begin play next fall.

Steve Lassan of Athlon Sports recently put out a projection of every SEC team's conference schedule that will be announced soon.

Athlon projects Auburn's 2024 conference slate to include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina.

"This is a tough draw for Hugh Freeze's program," Lassan said. "Games against Alabama and Georgia absolutely have to happen. And once you add in Oklahoma and LSU, it's easy to see why this could be the strongest schedule in our projected matchups."

It's an extremely brutal schedule regardless of how you slice it for Hugh Freeze & Co.
