Neutral‑Site Showdown Set for 2028
Florida State and the University of Georgia have officially ended their traditional home‑and‑home series, opting instead for a single neutral‑site matchup scheduled for 2028.
The contest will be staged at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, a venue that is slated to open its doors in February 2027 after a multi‑year construction project.
Nashville was selected from a shortlist that also included Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, New Orleans, Orlando and Tampa, with the city’s growing sports infrastructure cited as a key factor.
The decision reflects a broader shift within the conferences, which have moved to nine‑game league schedules, leaving only one non‑conference slot per season for each member school.
Both programs already have their other non‑conference opponent locked in: Florida State will continue its rivalry with the University of Florida, while Georgia will face Georgia Tech each year.
Fans will also note that Georgia is slated to host Florida A&M on September 9, 2028, though the exact date and opponent for the Nashville neutral‑site game have yet to be confirmed.
The move underscores how traditional powerhouses are reshaping their schedules to accommodate conference mandates while still seeking marquee matchups that draw national attention.
