Ten SEC schools will fill one of those open dates with the SEC/Big 12 Challenge in late January. The four teams not participating in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge will play league games that day.
The 2020-21 SEC women's basketball conference schedule remains at 18 play dates that will fit a 16-game league schedule.
