The SEC Network Takeover is back for a seventh consecutive year.
During the summer, the network allows all 14 institutions in the Southeastern Conference to have a dedicated day where their athletic department controls the programming.
This will start on Saturday and stretch for two weeks in July.
Each school ALL DAY!

The University of Alabama will take over the network on Saturday. Alabama captured an SEC title in gymnastics in March, and the 2021 SEC Gymnastics Championship will air first.
It was the Crimson Tide’s second championship under Dana Duckworth (first in 2015) and the 10th in school history. Then, the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship Game between Alabama and Ohio State will be featured. Nick Saban and the Tide earned a 52-24 victory over the Buckeyes in Miami, Fla.

It was Saban’s seventh national title overall and sixth at Alabama. Mac Jones and DeVonta Smith set records in the matchup, as Jones had 464 passing yards and Smith totaled 12 catches for 215 yards with three touchdowns. The leadership on the team pushed Alabama to an undefeated national championship season.
Tide fans are looking forward to reliving the moments.
