Georgia Football Schedule Reveal: Big names make way to Athens in 2025
ATHENS, Ga. — The 2025 Georgia Football schedule has been released, and Bulldog fans are getting a treat with the home slate. Already knowing the opponents, dates for conference games were announced Wednesday night during a special edition of SEC Now.
After opening the season with a couple of home contests, SEC play begins for the Bulldogs on the road with a road trip to Rocky Top to take on Tennessee in Week 3 (September 13th). It’s the earliest that game has been played since 1995, having taken place in November each of the past four seasons.
After an early bye week, Georgia hosts Alabama for its SEC home opener in Week 5 (September 27th). Both teams will have off dates before that, as was the case in 2024 as well. The two teams have played seven times since Kirby Smart took over as the head coach at his alma mater. This will be the first of them to be played in Athens.
The calendar turns to October with three more games and another bye for Georgia. Twice will the Bulldogs be between the hedges with Kentucky (Week 6 – October 4th) and Ole Miss (Week 8 – October 18th) coming to the Classic City sandwiching a road trip to Auburn for the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry in Week 7 (October 11th). A bye week closes the month out before the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville to open November.
As has become tradition, both Georgia and Florida are coming off of rest for their neutral site matchup. In 2025, it counts as a “road” game for the Bulldogs, helping out their total at Sanford Stadium. That’ll take place November 1st in Jacksonville before another game away from home as Georgia travels to Mississippi State November 8th.

To close out the SEC slate is a big one: Georgia’s SEC Championship Game rematch against Texas on November 15th in Athens. It’s the first trip to the Classic City for the Longhorns and a chance at revenge – assuming the two teams don’t meet in the College Football Playoffs – for two losses handed to Steve Sarkisian’s squad in 2024.
Georgia fans can also mark their calendars for four non-conference games against Marshall (August 30th – Athens), Austin Peay (September 6th – Athens), Charlotte (November 22nd – Athens) and Georgia Tech (November 29th – Atlanta). That rivalry game against the Yellow Jackets, the 119th meeting of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons, after an agreement between Tech and AMB Sports and Entertainment that pays its athletics department a guaranteed $10 million.
Of course the 2024 season isn’t over the Dawgs. Seeded second in the College Football Playoffs, Georgia earned a first-round bye and will play the winner of Notre Dame-Indiana in the Allstate Sugar Bowl and CFP quarterfinals New Year’s Day in New Orleans (8:45 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN).
