SEC ON CBS19: SEC releases broadcast schedule for 2020 football season

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has announced a select number of football games to be televised by CBS19 during the 2020 college football season.

In July, the SEC established September 26 as the new kickoff for its 2020 football season to allow its universities to focus on the healthy return of their campus communities and the gradual re-introduction of athletics, as the 14 members of the SEC continue to monitor developments related to COVID-19.

Given the unique circumstances of this season, CBS Sports, at the request of the SEC, worked in conjunction with the conference to assist them and their schools with their advanced planning and logistics. CBS selected games in six of the first eight weeks. For the remaining games on the schedule, the normal 12- or six-day selection process will be used during the season.
