The SEC commissioner says the 2026 conference football schedule should be released soon, but there is "a lot of work to be done."

Greg Sankey says that the CFP selection committee's willingness to 'move a little bit' paved the way for the SEC's move to a 9-game schedule.

The SEC will expand to a nine-game football schedule in 2026, preserving rivalries while rotating opponents more often under a new non-divisional format.
