The Southeastern Conference has set the appearance schedule for the 2026 SEC Football Media Days. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian is set to be the grand finale. Sark will be the final coach to speak to the media in Tampa.
The kickoff even will take place at the Tampa Marriott Water Street and JW Marriott on July 20-23 in Tampa, Florida. This is the first time SEC Media Days has been in Florida. Surprisingly, Texas hosted the event before Florida. Dallas, Nashville and Atlanta have served as hosts the previous three years.
