Georgia-Florida Game Moves to Atlanta for This Year, Tampa Next Year
The annual Georgia-Florida Game is being moved from its traditional location in Jacksonville to Atlanta for this year due to stadium renovations. The game is slated to be played in Tampa next year.
Macon, GA, October 27, 2026 —
The annual Georgia-Florida Game will move from its traditional location in Jacksonville to Atlanta this year because of stadium renovations. The game is slated to be played in Tampa next year.
The announced schedule describes a two-year change in location: Atlanta is the destination for this year’s game, followed by Tampa next year. Jacksonville is identified as the game’s traditional location, but the information provided does not specify when the event might return there.
Details about the stadium renovations were not provided. The stadium involved, the scope of the work and the renovation timeline are also not specified. No game dates, venue names in Atlanta or Tampa, or additional arrangements were included in the announcement information.
The relocation changes the setting for this year’s edition of the annual game and identifies Tampa as its planned location the following year. The available information does not explain why Atlanta and Tampa were selected, or whether the move to Tampa is related to the same renovations. It also does not provide further details about future locations beyond next year.
As a result, the confirmed details are limited to the sequence of locations and the stated reason for this year’s move: the game leaves Jacksonville for Atlanta because of stadium renovations, then is slated for Tampa next year.
