Georgia announced kickoff times for five 2025 matchups Thursday. All five of the matchups will have the mid-afternoon start.
Those games include two non-conference matchups in Athens, a non-conference neutral site showdown, a road SEC game, and the neutral site SEC rivalry matchup with the Florida Gators.
Other than the Gators, Georgia's opponents in those 3:30 games will be the Marshall Thundering Herd, the Austin Peay Governors, Tennessee Volunteers and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Georgia-Florida kicking off at 3:30 pm ET is no surprise. The rivalry matchup, nicknamed, "The World's Largest Cocktail Party," is almost always the Saturday after Halloween at 3:30 ET.

But last year, Georgia faced Tennessee and Georgia Tech in primetime. Also in the past, the Bulldogs have often played their home non-conference games at noon.
As the schedule announcement indicated, Georgia will open the first two weeks of the season at home versus Marshall and Austin Peay. The season opener will air on ESPN while the matchup with Austin Peay will be on ESPN+/SEC+.
Georgia's matchups with Tennessee, Florida and Georgia Tech will be on ABC.
Technically, the Bulldogs-Yellow Jackets matchup is a neutral site game this year, but the rivalry game will still be in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Belmont Stakes odds, post positions, favorites and analysis
The 157th Belmont Stakes is Saturday night at Saratoga Race Course, the second consecutive year the race will be staged in Upstate New York because of renovations at Belmont Park, the usual host. This year's race covers 1¼ miles, shorter than Belmont's traditional 1½, and offers a $2 million purse. The field has a compelling mix of contenders, including Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, who returns after skipping the Preakness Stakes, and Preakness victor Journalism, each aiming to secure two legs of the Triple Crown. Other notable entrants are Hill Road, fresh off a win in the Peter Pan Stakes, and international competitor Heart of Honor, who seeks to make his mark on U.S. soil after mostly racing in Dubai.
