The SEC announced on Tuesday that football teams can begin practice on August 17.
Practices will be limited to 25 sessions prior to the first game, which is scheduled for September 26. Each school is limited to 20 hours of practice or meetings for the week. The SEC is also mandating that players have at least two off days per week during those 25 practices. Practices are limited to two days in helmets only, two days in helmets, two days in partial pads and one day in full pads.
Between August 7 and August 16, teams are allowed to have 14 hours per week of walk-through practices without a ball present.
Due to the pandemic, last week the SEC announced that the 2020 season will consist of 10, conference-only games. Georgia will play the six SEC East teams already scheduled plus Alabama and Auburn form the West. Two additional SEC West teams will be added to the schedule. The entire schedule for each program will be reworked prior to September 26.
