With Louisiana Tech officially joining the conference – and Texas State going to the Pac-12 – we know for certain what the 2026 Sun Belt football schedule will look like.
Southern Miss’ 2026 schedule features eight SBC games. USM’s non-conference slate includes one FCS contest against Alcorn State, two Group of Six matchups vs. UConn and at Tulane, and a Power Four opponent, at Auburn.
