Basketball season is right around the corner, and the Florida Gators are set to defend their 2025 national title after reloading through the transfer portal in the offseason.
The Gators will open their non-conference play in November and will have two months of non-SEC opponents before transitioning to their SEC schedule in January.
The SEC has released all the official dates, TV networks, and start times for the Gators. Notably, this season, Florida will have two regular-season games on ABC, including a highly anticipated matchup with Kentucky on Valentine's Day.
Below is all the info the conference put out today in a press release.
