Georgia fans now know how their beloved team’s schedule will shake out for the next four seasons as the SEC moves to a nine-game conference slate. The Bulldogs league foes were announced on Tuesday night. Auburn, Florida, and South Carolina will be involved in each of the four years.

UGA will play Auburn, Missouri, Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma at home in 2026. It will play at Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. The annual showdown with Florida will take place in Atlanta instead of Jacksonville as the Jaguars’ TIAA Bank Field undergoes renovations. The 2028 schedule will mirror the 2026 schedule with home games and away games flip flopped.

Come 2027, Georgia will be at Auburn, Kentucky, TexasA&M and Texas. It’ll also play Florida in Tampa. The Bulldogs will host LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The 2027 slate will mirror the 2029 slate with home and away games flip flopped.

Texas A&M joined the SEC in 2012 but Georgia will face it as a league foe for just the second time in 2027. The Aggies came to Athens in 2019, a game the Bulldogs won 19-13. The 2026 season will see UGA play at Kyle Field for the first time ever. The teams have faced off six times since the first meeting in 1950, which took place in College Park, Maryland.

The next matchup was in Dallas, Texas in 1953, followed by Texas A&M’s first trip to Athens in 1954. Two of the last three matchups have also been played in Athens with an Independence Bowl (Shreveport, La.) clash coming to end the 2010 season. The series between Georgia and Texas A&M is tied at three wins apiece.

Georgia and Oklahoma are also set to meet for the first time as league foes in 2026. The two programs had a home-and-home series schedule prior to the Sooners joining the SEC in 2024. The Bulldogs were originally scheduled to visit Norman in 2023 but the SEC directed the two teams to cancel the series seeing as how OU wasn’t set to make the return trip until 2031. Oklahoma and Texas formally agreed to join the SEC in 2021.

Missouri, after joining the SEC in 2012, played Georgia for 12 straight years before dropping off the schedule in 2023. The Tigers’ lone win against UGA as an SEC program came in Athens in 2013. They’re one of three former SEC East teams that’ll be back on the schedule in 2026, joining South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
