The Florida Gators’ football game against Mississippi State on Saturday, Oct. 18at 4:30 p.m. is sold out. It will be the Gators’ 16th straight sellout at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

The sellout is the 20th overall under head coach Billy Napier. Four home games were sold out in Napier’s first season at Florida. The following year, five of UF’s home games were sold out under Napeir. This past season, all seven Florida Gators home games were marked as being sold out. All four home contests in 2025 have sold out.

Single-game tickets are still available for the remaining Florida Gators home games this season. Fans can purchase tickets at FloridaGators.com, by calling the Gator Ticket Office at (352) 375-4683, or in person at Gate 2 on the west side of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

The Florida Gators are 2-4 this season

The Florida Gators tough schedule has gotten the best of the team so far this season. After opening the season with a win over LIU, the Gators lost three straight games to USF, LSU, and Miami. The Orange and Blue bounced back later with an upset win over Texas, but is coming off another loss this past weekend to Texas A&M on the road.

The Florida Gators issued their initial availability report Wednesday night along with Mississippi State. It’s the first of four injury reports that will be released before the Gators (2-4, 1-2 SEC) face the Bulldogs (4-2, 0-2 SEC) on Saturday.

UF has a trio of new additions this week to the injury report. Defensive backs Jordan Castell and Cormani McClainand defensive linemen Brien Taylor Jr., all of whom are questionable. Running back Ja’Kobi Jackson, tight end Tony Livingston and offensive lineman Devon Manuel are also listed as questionable after all three missed the Texas A&M game last Saturday.

Florida currently has a half dozen players out against the Bulldogs: defensive lineman Caleb Banks (foot), running backs Duke Clark (shoulder) and Treyaun Webb (hamstring), EDGE LJ McCray (foot) and defensive backs Aaron Gates (shoulder) and Dijon Johnson (knee). 

One player who’s back for the Gators this week is Muizz Tounkara. The freshman receiver has missed the last two games.
