SEC softball championship weather update: Projected rain pushes up Oklahoma vs Texas A&M game
Oklahoma leads SEC softball tournament predictions
Oklahoma’s offense is heating up, making them the top pick for the SEC softball title.
There’s little question about what the biggest game on the college softball calendar is Saturday, with No. 2 Oklahoma set to take on No. 1 Texas A&M in the SEC championship game one day after the Sooners pulled off the biggest comeback win in the event’s history.
As any college softball or baseball fan knows, though, even the most consequential games are occasionally subject to change.
The Sooners’ highly anticipated matchup with the Aggies has been moved up four hours, from 4 p.m. CT to noon, with the SEC citing “projected weather conditions” for the Athens, Georgia area as the reason for the late switch.
Even with the new time, the stakes of the matchup remain the same. Oklahoma is seeking the SEC title in its first year in the conference and its seventh conference championship in its past eight attempts, with the previous six victories coming in the Big 12. Whoever wins Saturday will not only earn an automatic berth to the 2025 NCAA Tournament — not that either teams’ postseason aspirations are in doubt — but will likely lock up the No. 1 overall national seed.
Though they compete in the same conference, this will be the first meeting between the Sooners and Aggies this season.
Here’s an updated look at the weather for Saturday’s game, as well as how to watch it after the time and TV channel switch:
After already having moved the first pitch up four hours, the SEC has delayed the start of its 2025 softball championship game between Oklahoma and Texas A&M due to weather conditions in the Athens, Georgia area.
The league has said additional updates will follow, though no restart time has been set.
SEC softball championship weather update
The SEC moved Oklahoma’s meeting with Texas A&M in the league’s 2025 softball tournament championship game at Jack Turner Softball Stadium in Athens, Georgia up four hours to account for inclement weather that’s expected to hit the area later in the day Saturday.
Rain is expected throughout the day Saturday in Athens, though according to the latest forecast from The Weather Channel, the precipitation is estimated to let up around noon CT, with the chance of rain at less than 30% from noon CT until 4 p.m., at which point rain is once again expected.
Moving the game back to Sunday wouldn’t have avoided the issue. It’s projected to rain throughout the day Sunday in Athens, though there’s a brief window from 9 a.m. CT until noon when the chance of rain is never greater than 30%.
