South Carolina hosts Vanderbilt in its conference opener on Sept. 13, which will kickoff at either 7 p.m. or 7:45 p.m. ET (ESPN or SEC Network).
After two home night games, the Gamecocks travel to Missouri for their first road test of the 2025 season. A kickoff time for the Mayor's Cup has not yet been revealed.
Coach Shane Beamer will start his fifth season with the Gamecocks and his second with LaNorris Sellers as his starting quarterback. Sellers finished 196-of-299 passing for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdowns and rushed for 674 with seven touchdowns in 2024.
South Carolina is looking to mirror its success of 2024, when it went 9-4 and ended the season with a loss to Illinois in the Citrus Bowl.
