Each team plays 14 opponents once, either at home or on the road, while also facing one designated opponent twice in a home-and-home series.<\/p>\n<p>For Vanderbilt, that rotating home-and-home opponent will be Missouri. The Commodores and Tigers will meet once in Nashville and once in Columbia during the conference season.<\/p>\n<p>One notable aspect of the schedule is Vanderbilt\u2019s annual rivalry matchup with Tennessee. For the third consecutive season, the Commodores and Lady Vols will meet only once during SEC play. This year\u2019s showdown will take place at Memorial Gymnasium, giving Vanderbilt an opportunity to host one of the league\u2019s marquee rivalries.<\/p>\n<p>The Commodores enter the season with lofty expectations following one of the best campaigns in program history. Vanderbilt won 29 games, finished 13-3 in SEC play, earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and advanced to its first Sweet 16 since the 2008-09 season.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Shea Ralph\u2019s squad established itself as one of the nation\u2019s top programs during the 2025-26 campaign and will once again be expected to contend near the top of the SEC standings.<\/p>\n<p>Vanderbilt\u2019s 2026-27 SEC Opponents<\/p>\n<p>Home Games<\/p>\n<p>Arkansas<\/p>\n<p>Georgia<\/p>\n<p>Ole Miss<\/p>\n<p>Mississippi State<\/p>\n<p>Missouri<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee<\/p>\n<p>Texas A&amp;M<\/p>\n<p>Road Games<\/p>\n<p>Alabama<\/p>\n<p>Auburn<\/p>\n<p>Florida<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky<\/p>\n<p>LSU<\/p>\n<p>Missouri<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma<\/p>\n<p>Texas<\/p>\n<p>The SEC has not yet released the dates and times for conference games.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/sites\/the-dore-report\/join\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SUBSCRIBE TO THE DORE REPORT TODAY \u2013 CLICK HERE AND GET 50% OFF YOUR FIRST YEAR + a complimentary year of The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TDR Hats BACK IN STOCK<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thedorereport.store\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to go to TDR\u2019s all new store<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TDR Collabs<\/p>\n<p>NIL Store<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nil.store\/DOREREPORT15\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Nil.Store\/DOREREPORT15 and use code DOREREPORT15 at checkout for 15% off your order<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Great NIL gear from your favorite Vanderbilt athletes<\/p>\n<p>Rhoback<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rhoback.com\/collections\/vanderbilt-university-licensed-collection\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to shop for Vanderbilt gear on Rhoback.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SUBSCRIBE TO THE DORE REPORT TODAY \u2013 CLICK HERE AND GET 50% OFF YOUR FIRST YEAR + a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762893,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3723],"tags":[7,217,231,772,1544,8651,37970,20705],"class_list":["post-762892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-basketball","tag-college-basketball","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-basketball","tag-ncaab","tag-vanderbilt","tag-vanderbilt-basketball","tag-vanderbilt-commodores"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116762487316555033","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762892\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
