LSU will officially kick off the season on the road when they travel to Pasadena, California, to take on UCLA. It is different than a season ago when the pandemic cut down the schedule to 10 games. That schedule was filled with SEC opposition only, adding two conference games and removing the four nonconference matchups. It took away the return game in the LSU-Texas series.
The full schedule returns in 2021 with LSU playing the traditional four nonconference games and eight SEC games. The first conference game on the 2021 schedule is the same as last year, the Tigers looking for redemption against Mike Leach and Mississippi State.
A look at the full 12 game schedule with kickoff times that have been announced.
