BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – (Courtesy of Ole Miss Media Relations) The Southeastern Conference announced a revised 2020 football schedule Monday that will see Ole Miss open league play Sept. 26 against Florida at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
The Sept. 26 opener will be the 25th all-time meeting between Ole Miss and Florida and the first time since 1948 that the two squads have met in a season opener. The Rebels lead the all-time series vs. the Gators 12-11-1.
After the season opener vs. Florida, the Rebels will travel to Lexington to square off against SEC East foe Kentucky (Oct. 3).

In July, the SEC established the delayed start for its 2020 football season to allow its universities to focus on the healthy return of their campus communities and the gradual re-introduction of athletics, as the 14 members of the SEC continue to monitor developments related to COVID-19.
