CBS on Tuesday morning announced six of the SEC games that will be featured on its network for the 2020 college football season.

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide will feature in three of those six contests, while the Auburn Tigers will play in one matchup.

The SEC is set to play a 10-game, conference-only schedule this year. The games announced by CBS on Tuesday all come in the first eight weeks of regular season play.

For the dates of October 10, October 24, November 21 and November 28, CBS will announce its game of the week during the season.

The Tide will be highlighted on CBS during the following contests: Texas A&M at Alabama on October 3 at 2:30 p.m. CT; Georgia at Alabama on October 17 at 7:00 p.m. CT; and Alabama at LSU on November 14 at 5:00 p.m. CT.

On October 31, the Auburn home game versus LSU will be televised by CBS at 2:30 p.m. CT.

“This advanced planning for the SEC on CBS Game of the Week was done at the request of the conference to assist the schools with logistics given the unique circumstances of a season being played amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated CBS.

Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jamie Erdahl will anchor CBS’s live coverage during SEC games.
