Florida-Georgia Rivalry Game Temporarily Moves to Atlanta and Tampa

The annual game will relocate due to Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium renovations, with plans to return in 2028.

The Florida-Georgia game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2026 and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa in 2027.
Renovations at Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium, costing $1.4 billion, necessitate the temporary relocation.
The rivalry game, known as 'The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party,' has been held in Jacksonville since 1933, except during previous renovations.
Financial incentives influenced the decision to use neutral sites rather than campus locations, as these venues generate significant revenue for both schools.
Both universities plan to return the game to Jacksonville in 2028 under a new multiyear contract.
