Georgia, Louisville Cancel 2026–27 Home-and-Home, Eye Neutral-Site Option

The decision reflects conference scheduling changes that push members toward nine league games plus heavier Power Four slates.

Overview

  • Both schools announced a mutual termination of the series, so no liquidated damages are owed under contracts that set $1 million per game and a $2 million escalator for a second-game cancellation.
  • Reporting indicates Georgia also canceled a 2033–34 home-and-home with NC State, with neutral-site possibilities under consideration.
  • Louisville now must secure a replacement Power Four opponent in 2026 to satisfy the ACC’s 10‑power‑game guideline.
  • Georgia’s 2026 nonconference slate currently lists Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, and Georgia Tech, all scheduled for Sanford Stadium.
  • The KentuckyLouisville Governor’s Cup is expected to continue, according to Kentucky athletics director Mitch Barnhart.
