Daley & Tennessee 2026-27 Schedule Unveiled
|
Bermuda-affiliated sprint star Elan Daley and the University of Tennessee swimming and diving program have laid out their roadmap for the 2026-27 campaign, targeting further national glory following back-to-back top-five NCAA Championship finishes.
The Volunteers and Lady Vols will launch their season on 9 October by staging a high-profile fixture in the brand-new College Swimming League (CSL). The inaugural 12-team competition—featuring six regular-season meets across the United States—will see Tennessee welcome heavyweight programmes Louisville, Michigan, and Virginia to Knoxville’s Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center.
Tennessee then travels to Athens, Georgia, on 23 October for an all-SEC CSL clash against Auburn, Alabama, and hosts Georgia, with programmes vying for spots at the CSL Championships in Indianapolis on 5–6 November.
Following their league commitments, Tennessee hosts the prestigious three-day Tennessee Invitational (18–20 November) before wrapping up 2026 with an annual border-rivalry dual meet at Kentucky.
The turn of the year brings home advantage at the UT Diving Invitational (7–9 January), preceding SEC dual meets against South Carolina and Georgia, and a regular-season finale on the road at Duke.
All eyes will then turn to Austin, Texas, where the SEC Championships take centre stage from 13–20 February. Coming off a 2026 conference meet where the Lady Vols claimed runners-up honours and the men finished third, Daley and Tennessee will look to carry that momentum into the postseason sharp end.
