SEC Announces Lady Vols’ 2025 Conference Schedule

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference unveiled the 2025 league schedule for all 15 softball teams on Wednesday afternoon.

The two-time defending SEC champion Lady Vols begin their title defense on the road against Georgia March 7-9. Tennessee’s remaining road series will feature contests with Oklahoma (March 28-30), Texas (April 11-13) and Ole Miss (April 25-27).

Tennessee’s home slate starts with Arkansas on March 21-23, followed by Mississippi State (April 4-6) and Auburn (April 18-20) before wrapping up the regular season with Texas A&M (May 1-3).

The 2025 SEC Tournament will be held at Georgia’s Turner Softball Stadium in Athens, Georgia. The tournament will begin on Tuesday, May 6 with the championship game slated to be played on Saturday, May 10.

All eight of the Lady Vols’ SEC opponents played in an NCAA regional last season with four of those teams advancing to Super Regionals. Two teams – Oklahoma and Texas – advanced to the 2024 Women’s College World Series where they faced each other in the WCWS Championships Series.

The SEC added Oklahoma and Texas to the nation’s premier softball conference in 2025. Tennessee will visit both schools for the first time since 2014 and 2012, respectively, this upcoming season.

UT is coming off a 2024 season that saw it win the SEC regular season title in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history. Tennessee earned a No. 3 national seed in the 2024 NCAA Softball Tournament – the highest seeding in program history. The postseason appearance was its 21st overall and 20th consecutive – advancing to the postseason every year since 2004 and hosting 19 straight regional rounds in Knoxville.

The Lady Vols return 15 players from last season’s squad and welcome in the nation’s No. 4 ranked signing class by Extra Inning Softball. Tennessee also added four transfers in a class ranked No. 7 by Softball America.

The Lady Vols’ 2025 SEC schedule can be seen below. All series are currently slated to be played Friday-Sunday except for the final series of the season which will be played Thursday-Saturday. The first seven series are subject to change to Saturday-Monday based on television. Those altered dates will be announced when the TV schedule is released in January or February.

Tennessee’s full 2025 schedule will be released later this fall.
