Overview

  • Kickoff is set for Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, with the game airing on ABC and available via streaming services such as Fubo.
  • Tickets remain on secondary markets including Vivid Seats, StubHub, SeatGeek and Viagogo, with the cheapest listings reported around $90 to $110 as of Sept. 8.
  • LSU enters 2-0 with a marquee win at Clemson and a defense that has yielded just 17 points through two games, spotlighting a unit ranked among the nation’s best early.
  • Florida is 1-1 and unranked after the 18-16 home loss to South Florida, with recent concerns about penalties highlighted by 11 flags for 103 yards and an ejection.
  • Betting lines such as ESPN BET list LSU as about a 7.5-point favorite, and multiple previews predict a multi-score Tigers win, with last season’s Florida victory in Gainesville adding a revenge subplot.
