The 2026 Georgia Bulldogs football schedule was released Thursday as part of the SEC-wide reveal, with Georgia getting home conference dates against Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and Missouri.
Georgia’s schedule contains the conference’s first-ever 9-game league format. The SEC announced in August it would begin playing 9 conference games for each school beginning in 2026, and that each program will continue to be required to schedule at least 1 opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, or Big 12, or Notre Dame.
The Bulldogs open Sept. 5 at home against Tennessee State and then play host to Western Kentucky on Sept. 12. Georgia then hits the road to begin SEC play at Arkansas on Sept. 19 before returning to Samford Stadium to take on Oklahoma on Sept. 26 and Vanderbilt on Oct. 3.
A highly anticipated rematch of the SEC Championship Game is set for Oct. 10 when Georgia plays at Alabama. The Bulldogs then host Auburn on Oct. 17. Following a bye week, Georgia will play Florida at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Oct. 31.
The Bulldogs then travel to play Ole Miss on Nov. 7. Georgia takes on Mizzou at home on Nov. 14, then goes to Columbia to play South Carolina on Nov. 21. Georgia’s 2026 schedule wraps up Nov. 28 with a home date against Georgia Tech.
