Georgia’s season finale against Georgia Tech is on the move.
Georgia football is set to face one of the toughest schedules in the nation again next season. This is largely because the SEC schedule-makers opted to repeat last year’s conference matchups, meaning Georgia will once more compete against teams like Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas.
On the bright side, the Bulldogs will have a slightly easier non-conference schedule since they won’t be facing any prominent non-conference rivals early in the season. In most years, under Kirby Smart, Georgia kicks off the season against a major opponent, as they did last year with Clemson, but that’s not the case for the 2025 season. The only significant non-conference game will be their annual finale against Georgia Tech.
This matchup recently made headlines when it was announced that the game would be moved from Tech’s home stadium to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and a new update regarding the game was shared on Monday night.

Georgia vs Georgia Tech moving to Black Friday
Multiple sources indicate that the in-state rivalry game against the Yellow Jackets will take place on Black Friday, November 28, this upcoming season. Originally set for Saturday, November 29, both teams have opted to shift the game to Black Friday for the second consecutive year.
There are clear reasons behind this decision. With significantly fewer college football games on Friday, the match-up will garner more attention than if it were held on Saturday, when most games are scheduled. Given the excitement of last season’s game, it’s easy to see why they would want to repeat the Friday setting.
There’s likely to be considerable anticipation surrounding this game once again. Georgia is expected to be highly ranked, as usual, and there’s a possibility that Georgia Tech will be ranked too. Following UGA’s impressive victory in last year’s rivalry matchup, fans will be eager to see how the teams perform this time.
