Mississippi State vs Oklahoma: kickoff, TV and official audio

Mississippi State and Oklahoma play on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. Central Time, in Starkville, Mississippi. That is 4:30 p.m. in Brasília, 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time, and 9:30 p.m. in mainland Spain and France. The University of Oklahoma game center lists SEC Network (SECN) for U.S. television and provides links to audio and statistics. Availability depends on country and provider, so check the official pages again close to kickoff.

Date, time and location

The matchup will be played in Starkville, with Mississippi State as the home team. Both Oklahoma’s official schedule and the Mississippi State schedule list Saturday, October 24, at 2:30 p.m. CT.

On October 24, U.S. Central Time will be five hours behind UTC. The confirmed start therefore converts to 7:30 p.m. UTC and 4:30 p.m. in Brasília. Mainland Spain and France will be two hours ahead of UTC on that date, placing kickoff at 9:30 p.m. in those markets.

Mississippi State’s schedule labels the game a “Black Out.” The source does not provide additional instructions that should be extended to remote viewers; for people following from home, the practical detail remains the kickoff time.

U.S. television channel

The official Oklahoma game center displays “SECN,” the abbreviation used for SEC Network. That is the official U.S. television listing available for the game.

Access to the channel may depend on a viewer’s television package or service. The supplied sources do not confirm a particular streaming platform, free trial, price, or availability outside the United States. Viewers in Brazil, Spain, France and other territories should therefore not treat the SEC Network listing as a guarantee of local access. Check the provider’s channel guide and the official game center before kickoff.

Official audio and live statistics

There are two useful official alternatives for anyone unable to watch on television. Oklahoma’s game center shows “Listen” and “Stats” options for the matchup. Mississippi State’s schedule also includes audio and live statistics links in the game entry.

Use those shortcuts through the university pages because player and statistics-panel addresses may be updated. The sources confirm that the options exist, but their extracted text does not specify possible geographic restrictions, account requirements or device compatibility. Open the player early and review the conditions displayed on game day.

Where the teams stand

Oklahoma enters the week with a 3–3 overall record and a 1–2 conference record, according to its schedule. The Sooners defeated Texas 27–24 at a neutral site on October 10 before losing 21–13 at home to Kentucky on October 17.

Mississippi State is listed at 4–2 overall and 2–2 in conference play. Its latest listed game was a 31–0 road loss to LSU, also on October 17. These figures describe the records published by the universities after the previous round; they are not a prediction of the outcome.

The matchup is part of the SEC schedule. Oklahoma is the visiting team, while Mississippi State returns to Starkville after its game in Baton Rouge.

How to use each coverage option

To avoid missing the start, use Central Time as the primary reference: 2:30 p.m. CT on October 24. Viewers elsewhere should apply the appropriate conversion and account for any automatic time-zone settings on their devices.

Television, audio and the scoreboard are separate services. “SECN” identifies the announced channel for the U.S. market; “Listen” opens the official audio option; and “Stats” or “Live stats” leads to the statistical tracker. A live statistics page is not a video stream, and an official audio link does not imply universal availability.

Because schedules, listings and links can change, make a final check through Oklahoma’s game center or the Mississippi State schedule. Both pages identify the matchup and provide official coverage shortcuts.
