The 2026 Georgia Bulldogs football schedule is here, and it's a doozy! With kickoff times and windows announced, fans can start planning their game days. Here's a breakdown of the full schedule, with a focus on the intriguing "flex" window games.
Early Games
The "early" window games will kick off between noon and 1 p.m., providing a great opportunity for fans to catch the action before the workday ends. The SEC opener against Arkansas is already set for noon, a tradition-packed kickoff. The October 3rd home game against Vanderbilt also falls into this category, giving fans a chance to see the Bulldogs take on a familiar SEC foe early in the season.
Afternoon and Night Games
The "afternoon" window games will kick off between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., while the "night" games will start between 6 and 8 p.m. The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, a Georgia-Alabama showdown, is the only game in the "afternoon" window, creating a unique atmosphere for this historic rivalry. The trip to Tuscaloosa, given the "night" window, will be a challenging road test for the Bulldogs.
