The annual college football rivalry between the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators, traditionally played in Jacksonville, Florida, for nearly a century, will be held in Atlanta for the 2026 season.
The matchup, known as the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," has been contested at Jacksonville's TIAA Bank Field since 1933, with only two exceptions. The 2026 game marks a significant departure from the long-standing neutral-site arrangement.
No official reason for the venue change has been publicly detailed. The game is scheduled for October 31, 2026, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
