Georgia football schedule with game-by-game predictions

The long offseason wait is almost over for Georgia Bulldogs fans. Georgia's 2026 season opener in Sanford Stadium against the Tennessee State Tigers is on Saturday, Sept. 5. Georgia is heavily favored against Tennessee State in Week 1 and will be big favorites when Georgia wears all-white uniforms in Week 2 against Western Kentucky.

After a pair of non-Power Four opponents, Georgia begins SEC hit the road to play against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Sept. 19. Georgia is expected to be significant favorites against Arkansas, but SEC road games are never easy.

The Bulldogs open their SEC home schedule on Sept. 26 against the Oklahoma Sooners. Georgia and the rest of the SEC play nine-game conference schedules for the first time. The Bulldogs look to return to the SEC championship after winning back-to-back SEC titles.

So far, Georgia has looked good in fall camp. Of course, the Bulldogs have plenty of things to work on and refine, but Georgia has another deep, talented team.

"I thought there were some positives on both sides of the ball," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said after Georgia's second scrimmage in fall camp. "The offense continues to be effective and efficient in the red area. Our run game, in terms of putting dents in the defense and being physical was really good.

"Defensively, I think there were some good turnovers in there, some sacks and created some havoc, which is important. All in all, I thought both sides of the ball continued to get better. I was very pleased with the performance on both sides of the ball."

Georgia is seeking to return to the College Football Playoff and make a deeper run than the quarterfinals. Before the Bulldogs can return to the playoff, UGA and quarterback Gunner Stockton will have to navigate a regular-season schedule that features 10 Power Four opponents, but only four true road games.

We predict Georgia will go 10-2 (7-2 SEC) with road losses to Alabama and Ole miss. A 7-2 conference record should be enough to make the SEC championship, but tiebreakers could impact that. We think Georgia will make the playoff and return to the SEC championship.
