Two More Kickoffs Announced

Georgia’s second and third football games this fall – the home opener versus UAB on September 11th and the Southeastern Conference opener against South Carolina on September 18th – were among an early round of selections made Thursday for the ESPN networks, according to an announcement by the league office.

The Dawgs’ contest in Athens against the Blazers during the second week of the season will be slated for 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2. The following Saturday, Georgia will play host to the Gamecocks at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Kickoff times and networks had already been announced for the Dawgs’ season opener versus Clemson in the Duke’s Mayo Classic in Charlotte on September 4th and for Georgia’s annual showdown with Florida in Jacksonville, Fla., on October 30th. The Georgia-Clemson game will be at 7:30 p.m. on ABC while the Georgia-Florida matchup will be at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.

Kickoff times and networks were announced for the first three weeks of the season and selected games were announced for three other Saturdays later in the year. For any games not chosen before the start of the season, the normal 12- or six-day selection process will be used during the season.

Following a 2020 season that featured all SEC teams playing a 10-game conference-only regular season, the league will resume its 12-game regular season schedule in 2021, featuring eight SEC games and four non-conference games before the postseason. The SEC Football Championship Game will be played Dec. 4 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at 4 p.m. on CBS.
