The University of Georgia’s football program has unveiled the kickoff times for its opening trio of games in the 2026 season, setting the stage for a busy September that will test the Bulldogs against non‑Power Four opponents.
First Three Matchups
The Bulldogs will open at home against Tennessee State on September 5, with a 3 p.m. Eastern start at Sanford Stadium, before welcoming Western Kentucky a week later at noon Eastern on September 12.
The third contest takes the team on the road to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where they will meet the Razorbacks at noon Eastern on September 19, marking the first visit to the state since the 2020 season opener.
Strategic Outlook
Coaches and players alike are emphasizing the importance of preserving their winning streak against opponents outside the Power Four, a narrative that has become a rallying point for the fan base.
Maintaining momentum early in the schedule could influence the team's trajectory throughout the year, especially as the Bulldogs aim to translate early victories into a stronger national ranking.
