Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford was already one of the most anticipated games of the 2026 season. ESPN’s College GameDay will now be there to capture it.
ESPN announced Friday that its iconic pregame show will broadcast live from The Grove on Saturday, Sept. 19, ahead of No. 9 Ole Miss’ showdown with No. 11 LSU at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban will take the Grove Stage beginning at 8 a.m. CT. It will mark College GameDay’s third trip to Ole Miss.
The matchup will also be Pete Golding’s first SEC game as Ole Miss’ head coach. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
With two top-15 teams, a heated rivalry and Kiffin back on the opposing sideline, Oxford is set for one of its biggest football weekends in years.
