Florida Gators vs. No. 20 Tennessee Volunteers: How to watch, channel, streaming

While Gator Nation is fixated on the Florida Gators’ coaching search, the team still has two more games left in 2025. And in the first one, UF will welcome the rivals Tennessee Vols to the Swamp on Saturday night.

This year’s game doesn’t have much luster. The Gators, at 3-7, are one of the biggest disappointments in college football. Meanwhile, Tennessee is 7-3 and ranked No. 20 but likely is out of the playoff picture.

Despite this, ABC is sending its “A” team to Gainesville, which is proof people still care about this matchup, and about Gators football, even in a down year.

Saturday inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the Gators will face a tough test, and yet another explosive offense. Last week, UF held Lane Kiffin’s high-powered Ole Miss team somewhat in check but still lost 34-24 after not scoring in the second half.

This week, Tennessee comes to town with the No. 2 scoring offense (43.4) in college football. The Vols average 495 yards a game. Quarterback Joey Aguilar, who has thrown for 2,941 yards and 22 touchdowns, leads the attack.

On the flip side, UF’s offense is 113th in scoring (20.8).

“It’s our first home game since Oct. 18, we’re ready to get back home to The Swamp in front of our great fans,” UF interim coach Billy Gonzales said. “We’re definitely gonna need them this weekend versus a great Tennessee team.”
