The iconic Florida-Georgia Football Weekend will make a historic move to Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium for the 2027 season, as announced by officials from the University of Florida (UF), the University of Georgia (UGA), and Tampa Bay leaders. Traditionally held at Jacksonville’s EverBank Stadium, the game is relocating due to stadium renovations, with Atlanta hosting in 2026 before it arrives in Tampa in 2027. This shift brings a rare opportunity for fans to experience the celebrated rivalry in a new setting.
Excitement Builds for Tampa’s Role in the Rivalry
Rob Higgins, Executive Director of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, expressed enthusiasm about Tampa hosting this high-stakes matchup. “The Florida-Georgia game is one of college football’s greatest spectacles, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to host in 2027,” said Higgins. He highlighted Tampa Bay’s deep connection to college football and emphasized the game’s role in furthering the community’s vibrant sports culture.
