Today, SEC teams had time slots revealed for their first three games of the 2024 season. Ole Miss fans know when they will play their first three opponents of the season. The Rebels also had a change of day for the 2024 Egg Bowl.

The first three non conference game times for Ole Miss are as follows.

Saturday, Aug. 31 vs Furman - 6:00 pm C.T. on SEC ESPN Network+/ESPN+

Saturday, Sept. 7 vs Middle Tennessee - 3:15 pm C.T. on SEC ESPN Network

Saturday, Sept. 14 at Wake Forest - 5:30 pm C.T. on The CW

Ole Miss will look to record its first program wins over Furman and Wake Forest, with a 0-3 record combined against both schools.

Their week three game at Wake Forest will feature on The CW Network, which partners with the Atlantic Coast Conference.

2024 Egg Bowl moves from the traditional Thanksgiving Day slot

Ole Miss and Mississippi State will continue their rivalry in 2024. However, it won't be on the traditional day we are accustomed to. The Egg Bowl has been the feature game on Thanksgiving Day for many years, even with the NFL dominating the day.

The 2024 Egg Bowl will now be the feature game on Black Friday at 2:30 pm C.T. live on ABC. With the game now not in direct competition with the NFL primetime Thanksgiving Day game, it will mean more eyes on the bitter rivalry.

The Egg Bowl will be wedged between two other big games on November 29. Oklahoma State and Colorado will get things underway at 11:00 am C.T. After the Egg Bowl, we will see SEC giants Georgia against their rivals Georgia Tech at 7:30 pm C.T. Both games will also be aired on ABC, meaning a day full of top college football action.
