Go ahead, Georgia football fans, make your plans for the Bulldogs’ 2026 schedule.

The SEC dates were filled in by the conference in a primetime TV show on Thursday, Dec. 11.

Georgia will open SEC play as the conference’s defending champions on Saturday, Sept. 19, at Arkansas.

The schedule includes a first-ever visit to Sanford Stadium by Oklahoma for the SEC home opener on Sept. 26 in what is a rematch of the Rose Bowl from the 2017 season. That’s the only game the programs have ever played.

The SEC championship rematch at Alabama will be on Oct. 10. It would be the fifth game between the programs in the last four seasons.

Vanderbilt, Missouri and South Carolina are back on the schedule for the first time since 2023.

Vanderbilt and freshman quarterback Jared Curtis, who flipped from Georgia this month, come to Athens for a game on Oct. 3. Missouri visits on Nov. 14.

Georgia plays at South Carolina for the first time since 2022 on Nov. 21.

Georgia will play four new SEC coaches.

The Bulldogs go to Ole Miss for the first time since a 28-10 loss in 2024 on Nov. 7. Pete Golding has replaced Lane Kiffin, but the Bulldogs are likely to see Golding and the Rebels in the Sugar Bowl CFP quarterfinals on Jan. 1.

Georgia hosts Auburn and new coach Alex Golesh on Oct. 17.

The Bulldogs will play at Arkansas for the first time since 2020. Ryan Silverfield is the new Razorbacks coach.

As previously announced, Georgia and Florida will play in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Oct. 31 as the annual game is relocated from Jacksonville due to stadium construction. Jon Sumrall from Tulane is the new Florida coach.

After Black Friday games in 2024 and 2025, the Georgia Tech game in Athens is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 28. At least for now.
