Ole Miss football’s 2026 schedule is complete: See the full list of opponents, dates

Ole Miss football has unveiled its 2026 schedule, marking the first full season under new head coach Pete Golding. The schedule features a prominent Week 3 matchup against LSU, which will see former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin return to Oxford on September 19. The Rebels will open their season with a neutral-site game against Louisville in Nashville.

Key annual matchups include games against Mississippi State, Oklahoma, and LSU, as part of the SEC's new format where each team plays nine conference games. The schedule includes an open week on October 3.

Ole Miss will play twice away from home in the first four weeks, including the neutral-site opener and a road game at Florida. The Egg Bowl against Mississippi State is scheduled for November 28, although there's potential for a date change, similar to the 2025 game. This season's schedule is expected to challenge Ole Miss early, particularly with the emotional Week 3 clash against LSU.
