2024 UGA football schedule revealed, per report

The 2024 UGA football schedule was set to be announced next Wednesday with the complete SEC football schedule release, but it has leaked early, according to a report by UGASports.com.

UGA’s non-conference schedule was previously known and has not changed. The Bulldogs will open the 2024 season against the Clemson Tigers on Saturday, Aug. 31 in the Aflac Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga.

The following week on Sept. 7, Georgia will open its home slate at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. Georgia’s final two non-conference games are both slated for Athens and are the final two games of the regular-season: UMass on Nov. 23 and Georgia Tech on Nov. 30.

Per the report by UGASports.com, the Bulldogs are scheduled to open SEC action in 2024 on Saturday, Sept. 14 on the road in Lexington, Ky., against the Kentucky Wildcats. Georgia will then have a bye on Sept. 21 before traveling to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to face the Alabama Crimson Tide on Sept. 28. The date for the Alabama contest was previously reported by ESPN.

October begins with a pair of SEC opponents at Sanford Stadium. The Auburn Tigers will visit Athens on Oct. 5, followed by the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Oct. 12.

Next, Georgia heads west to take on the new-SEC member Texas Longhorns on Oct. 19, which was also previously leaked by ESPN. Georgia will then enjoy its second and final bye of the season on Oct. 26.

There are two bye dates during the 2024 and 2025 seasons due to NCAA bylaws and the calendar. In seasons that contain 14 Saturdays in the period beginning with Labor Day weekend and ending with the last Saturday in November, there are 14 weeks to play 12 games.

The Bulldogs will be the home team in 2024 against the Florida Gators at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. That game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2 this season.

Following the trip to Jacksonville, Georgia will travel to Oxford, Miss., to take on the Ole Miss Rebels on Nov. 9. The Bulldogs then close out SEC play one week later at home against the Tennessee Volunteers on Nov. 16.

The 2024 SEC Championship Game will be played on Saturday, Dec. 7 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. The SEC announced last week that the contest will be televised by ABC.

Below is Georgia’s complete schedule for the 2024 season. UGASports.com is solid, but the schedule should be considered tentative until it’s officially released by the school or conference.
