Now that we are less than 100 days away from Week 1 of the 2022 college football season, it's time to start finalizing the schedule with kickoff times and television information for some of the biggest games of the year. No stage in the sport has a bigger draw than the SEC on CBS, which announced on Wednesday some of the matchups and kickoff times that will be featured on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ this fall.
The 2022 SEC on CBS schedule will officially begin on Sept. 17 with one of the most anticipated nonconference matchups of the season when Auburn hosts to Penn State. That game will have the standard 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff with Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jamie Erdahl on the call. The first scheduled matchup for the 2022 SEC on CBS Game of the Week is the annual meeting between Florida and Georgia in Jacksonville, Florida, on Oct. 29.
While the SEC on CBS won't get rolling until Week 3, the CBS Sports college football broadcast schedule gets rolling right away in Week 1 with Arizona at San Diego State set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff. That game will be followed by another Pac 12-Mountain West showdown in Week 2 with Colorado at Air Force featured on CBS on Sept. 10.
Wednesday's announcement also identified the weeks that will feature SEC doubleheaders on CBS. The primetime doubleheader is set for Oct. 8 with kickoffs at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Among the options for that doubleheader in Week 6 are Auburn-Georgia, Tennessee-LSU and the now-even more highly anticipated Alabama-Texas A&M battle in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Those selections, and the rest of the yet-to-be-determined matchups in the schedule below, will be announced six to 12 days in advance of the game. The 2022 schedule also includes another SEC on CBS doubleheader at noon and 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 12. The season will wrap as it traditionally does with the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 3, the Army-Navy Game on Dec. 10 and the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl on Dec. 30.
