LSU football's complete 2026 schedule was released on Thursday. Here's a full look at the dates for the Tigers' slate.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - LSU Football has officially released its 2026 football schedule, featuring a high-profile season opener and a challenging run through SEC play.

Thursday night the SEC announced its 2026 football schedule for all 16 schools in a made for TV special over on the SEC Network that, in hindsight, probably could’ve just been an email. But I’m not a TV executive and I’ve never had to move that sweet, sweet inventory before so what do I know…

LSU football is slated to face Houston in the Texas Bowl -- a bowl LSU is getting familiar with. Here's when the game will take place.

Traditionally, the Tigers have played four nonconference matchups each season. But because the SEC decided in August to add a ninth league battle to their teams’ schedules, LSU and its peers will now face only three nonconference teams in 2026 and beyond.

The Tigers get Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Alabama and Texas at home as part of the SEC schedule released Thursday.

LSU is expected to hire South Carolina's defensive ends coach. Could five-star Dylan Stewart follow to Baton Rouge?
