In this paper, a fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin finite element method is proposed to solve the KdV-Burgers-Kuramoto equation with variable-order Riemann-Liouville time fractional derivative. The method proposed in this paper is based on the finite difference method in time and local discontinuous Galerkin method in space. For all $ \epsilon(t)\in (0, 1) $ with variable order, we prove the scheme is unconditional stable and convergent. Finally, numerical examples are provided to verify the theoretical analysis and the order of convergence for the proposed method.
