CBS Sports, home to college football’s highest-rated television package, the SEC ON CBS, has announced its 2018 college football schedule broadcast windows and select games. CBS will again showcase the best games from the best conference with the “SEC Game of the Week,” which over the course of the season will include appearances by both participants in last season’s College Football Playoff National Championship – reigning National Champion Alabama and Georgia.

 

Additionally, the CBS college football schedule will feature Notre Dame vs. Navy (Oct. 27), the annual Army-Navy classic (Dec. 8) and the Hyundai Sun Bowl (Dec. 31).

 

The SEC ON CBS has been the highest-rated regular-season college football package on any network for nine consecutive seasons. The 2018 SEC ON CBS schedule, the Network’s 18th consecutive season providing national coverage of Southeastern Conference football, presents a total of 17 games, including the SEC Championship on Saturday, Dec. 1 (4:00 PM, ET).

 

This year’s schedule kicks off on Sept. 1 with West Virginia vs. Tennessee at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Other SEC ON CBS games announced today include last year’s SEC Champion Georgia visiting South Carolina on Sept. 8; last season’s SEC West Champion Auburn hosting LSU on Sept. 15; and Florida vs. Georgia in their annual rivalry game on Oct. 27.

 

There will be three consecutive Saturday doubleheaders late in the season and two Thanksgiving weekend games, putting multiple college football games on CBS in four of the final five regular-season weekends.

 

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TODAY, the Network’s pre-game, halftime and post-game studio show, provides all the college football news and highlights throughout the day.

 

CBS Sports’ coverage of the entire 2018 SEC on CBS football schedule will be available to stream live via the CBS All Access subscription service, with additional coverage on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports app.
