Tennessee Volunteers, fresh off a 1‑0 start, will travel to Atlanta on Saturday night to face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the second week of the 2026 college football season, with kickoff slated for 7 p.m. EDT.
The contest pits a program riding high against a Yellow Jackets squad still searching for its first victory, and it adds another chapter to a rivalry that has unfolded since November 22, 1902.
Tennessee currently leads the all‑time series 25‑17‑2, a testament to the Vols’ sustained edge over the Yellow Jackets over more than a century of matchups.
The two teams last met on September 4, 2017, when Tennessee edged Georgia Tech 42‑41 in double overtime, a finish that highlighted the volatility of their encounters.
