Ole Miss Hosts Florida Gators as SEC Showdown Approaches

The Ole Miss Rebels will face the Florida Gators on November 15, 2025, at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, in a significant Southeastern Conference (SEC) matchup. The kickoff is scheduled for 18:00 CT and will be broadcast on ESPN. The game marks the second to last home game for Ole Miss in the 2025 season, as they aim to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Ranked No. 7 nationally, Ole Miss boasts an impressive record of 8-1 and 5-1 in SEC play. Following their recent victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks, head coach Lane Kiffin is focused on maintaining momentum as the season nears its end. Kiffin expressed optimism about the support from fans, stating, “I thought our crowd was really good. Really answered the challenge of being early.”

Upcoming Matchups and Start Times

As the season progresses, Ole Miss has three remaining games to complete their schedule. Following the contest against Florida, they will face Mississippi State on November 28. The complete schedule is as follows:

– November 8 – vs. The Citadel (Noon CT; SECN+)
– November 15 – vs. Florida (18:00 CT; ESPN)
– November 28 – at Mississippi State (11:00 CT)

Kiffin emphasized the importance of fan attendance, particularly in light of the upcoming game against a non-conference opponent, The Citadel. He remarked, “Being here now six years, we’ve really struggled with crowds in these games, a lot of Week 11 games with what a lot of people consider a lesser, non-SEC opponent.”

Kiffin encouraged fans to bring the same energy and support as the team strives for a strong finish to the season. His comments reflect a desire for a robust home atmosphere, especially as they prepare to face a formidable opponent in Florida. “Let’s show up and have a great crowd. No excuses because of the time or, ‘Well, it’s not an SEC opponent,’” he urged.
