Florida Gators vs. Georgia Bulldogs: How to watch, channel, streaming

This year’s edition of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is upon us and when the Florida Gators face No. 2 Georgia on Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla., it will be the 102nd meeting between the programs.

Overall, the Bulldogs lead the series 55-44-2. Additionally, Georgia has a 49-41-1 edge in Jacksonville.

Both programs have had hot streaks in this rivalry.

The Bulldogs took control of the series in the 1970s and ’80s with a 15-5 mark vs. Florida. But when Steve Spurrier, the former Gators quarterback, returned to Gainesville as head coach, things changed. And since 1990, the Gators are 22-12.

Saturday, Georgia will enter on a three-game run and it’s 6-1 vs. Florida since 2017.

Can Billy Napier and Co. turn the tide?

Florida is 4-3 overall, 2-2 in the SEC; Georgia is 6-1, 4-1. The Gators have won three of their past four games. In the Bulldogs’ most recent game, they beat No. 1 Texas on the road.

Florida-Georgia Game Notes

• The Gators’ last win over Georgia came in 2020 (44-28).

• Napier is 0-2 vs. Georgia. Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart is 6-2 against Florida.
• True freshman Gators quarterback DJ Lagway had five completions of 40-plus yards in each of his first two career starts. No other Florida quarterback has completed five passes of 40-plus yards in a game in the last 20 years.
• Florida is the only three-loss team in the country with a perfect record vs. teams ranked outside the current AP Top 10.
• The Florida defense is coming off its first three-interception game since Nov. 28, 2020. Meanwhile, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has thrown eight picks in his last five games.
