The Georgia-Florida game will be played in Atlanta in 2026 and Tampa in 2027 when the rivalry takes a two-year break from Jacksonville, sources told Action Network.

After 2027, the series will return to Jacksonville for at least the next few years, sources said.

In 2026 and 2027, the game cannot be played in Jacksonville as EverBank Stadium undergoes renovations.

Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host the 2026 game, while Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium will host the 2027 game. Both cities have hosted the College Football Playoff National Championship and previous Super Bowls.

Atlanta was the top target for the 2026 game, while Tampa, Orlando and Miami were all considered for the 2027 game, a source said.

Since 1926, the series has been played annually in Jacksonville, except in 1994 and 1995 when the games were moved to each campus.

Tampa previously hosted the game in 1919. Atlanta has never hosted the UF-UGA rivalry.

Georgia leads the series 56-44-2 and has won six of the last seven meetings.
