Vanderbilt basketball will start and end its 2027 SEC slate with Tennessee, as the league announced conference schedules July 27.
In addition to permanent home-and-home opponents Tennessee and Kentucky, the Commodores will also face a home-and-home against Texas A&M in 2027.
Vanderbilt figures to be one of the SEC’s more exciting young teams after retaining All-American Tyler Tanner and bringing in 4-star wing Gabe Nesmith, who reclassified from the 2027 class. Under Mark Byington, the Commodores also brought in transfers like Ace Glass, Bangot Dak and Sebastian Williams-Adams. Vanderbilt has now qualified for the NCAA tournament in back-to-back years and was a Tanner half-court heave away from the Sweet 16 in 2026.
Each SEC team gets one open date during conference play. For Vanderbilt, that open date is Feb. 16-17.
