Georgia Football vs. Kentucky: How to watch, listen, stream

Georgia is off to a 2-0 start to its 2024 campaign with wins over Clemson and Tennessee Tech, but the toughest tests await UGA in the SEC. That 8-game gauntlet for the Bulldogs begins this week as they make the trip to Kentucky.

“Got to work yesterday and put that game (Tennessee Tech) to bed and started on Kentucky yesterday afternoon,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said on Monday during his weekly press conference. “I have immense respect for Mark (Stoops). He and I have grown to be really good friends. He’s one of the best in the business.”

“He’s done a tremendous job at Kentucky over the time he’s been there. His teams are always very disciplined, very physical,” Smart continued. “That’s a really tough place to play. When you go there, as you can see from every time we’ve played there, it’s been really tough. A lot of excitement playing an SEC opponent on the road. I think we know around this place how hard that can be. You get an opportunity to play at night on the road, and you know the environment is going to be really loud. We’ve got to prepare for a tough, really physical game, which is that way every time we play Kentucky.”

Despite the ending of the SEC’s East and West divisions, Georgia and Kentucky continue a series that has seen the Dawgs and Cats meet every year since 1956 with several matchups in the years before dating back to 1939. All time, UGA owns a big advantage in the series (63-12-2) with 14 straight wins to its name. That’s true both in Athens (32-4-2) and in Lexington (31-8).

Last season, the Bulldogs handed the Wildcats, ranked No. 20 at the time, a 51-13 loss at Sanford Stadium on the back of four passing touchdowns from Carson Beck and a fast start from the UGA offense. Brock Bowers passed AJ Green for second all-time in career receiving touchdowns with his 24th score, part of a 132-yard night for the star tight end, as Georgia rolled to victory.

The Bulldogs will enter Lexington as big favorites once again. Having won 41 straight regular season contests, the second-longest streak all time behind Oklahoma of the 1950s, UGA is currently listed as 23.5-point favorites per VegasInsider with an over/under for the game available at 45.5. ESPN Analytics give Georgia a 92.3% chance of coming out of Lexington victorious.

The SEC offered advice for fans looking to watch their team in action should coverage continue to be affected come Saturday. Georgia’s game against Kentucky would be included in the affected ones for DirecTV customers trying to watch on ABC. Those who subscribe to ESPN+ in addition to DirecTV would be fine and able to stream the game on the ESPN app.
