The SEC set start dates for men’s and women’s basketball conference schedule for the 2020-21 season - Dec. 29 and 30 for men and Dec. 31 for women.

The SEC men’s basketball conference schedule will consist of 20 play dates that would accommodate an 18-game schedule with two open dates. Ten SEC schools will fill one of those open dates with the SEC/Big 12 Challenge in late January. The four teams not participating in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge will play league games that day.

The SEC women’s basketball conference schedule remains at 18 play dates that will fit a 16-game league schedule.

Earlier this month, the NCAA Division I Council approved a Nov. 25 start date for the 2020-21 men’s and women’s college basketball seasons, when the SEC will begin non-conference play.

Teams can begin preseason practice Oct. 14 and will have a 42-day window to conduct no more than 30 practices.
