The real broadcast schedule and kickoff times officially announced for Georgia’s 2025 football season:
“Lightning Strikes on Sanford”
Athens, Georgia – A golden late summer sun sparkles off Sanford Stadium’s brick façade. Inside, the Georgia Bulldogs gather for their first press huddle of the 2025 broadcast rollout. Head coach Kirby Smart stands center stage, voice firm yet quiet, as murmurs ripple through the packed media.
“August 30, folks. 3:30 p.m. on ESPN,” he begins, eyes glinting. The crowd erupts—low rumble of excitement. That opening clash with Marshall, on Dooley Field, will kick off the Dawgs’ title chase under the bright afternoon sky .
The press box slideshow eyeballs across the screen, each date etched in black-and-red pride:
Sept. 6 vs. Austin Peay – 3:30 p.m., SEC Network+. The Bulldogs, steaming with fresh energy, will take it to the Governors in a televised showcase .
Sept. 13 @ Tennessee – 3:30 p.m., ABC. A showdown in Knoxville, broadcast to millions, as Georgia seeks to extend its streak .
Sept. 27 vs. Alabama – 7:30 p.m., ABC Night Game. The highlight: a prime‑time home opener, first under the lights since 2015, roaring at full volume .
A hush falls as the screen shifts to October:
Oct. 4 vs. Kentucky – Noon, ABC/ESPN. A crisp autumn noon kickoff, the stands aglow, rivalry renewed .
Oct. 11 @ Auburn – Night game (6–8 p.m. window). No time yet, but the charged atmosphere of The Plains promises electricity .
Oct. 18 vs. Ole Miss – Flex. A shifting window, dusk to evening, a canvas for drama under adaptive broadcast placement .
November’s chapter turns:
Nov. 1 vs. Florida (Jacksonville) – 3:30 p.m., ABC. The annual clash on the Gator’s turf, aired nationally, stakes sky-high .
Nov. 8 @ Mississippi State – Noon, ABC/ESPN. Starkville under midday sun—Georgia on national screens again .
Nov. 15 vs. Texas – Flex. Another flexible spotlight: mid‑afternoon or prime‑time, network and time to be set later .
Nov. 22 vs. Charlotte – 12:45 p.m., SEC Network. A late‑season home date under bright autumn skies .
Nov. 28 @ Georgia Tech (Atlanta) – 3:30 p.m., ABC. A Thanksgiving weekend classic, broadcast for a national audience .
“All other game times, networks, kickoff windows will be decided 6–12 days before each game,” Smart adds, intense focus under the press lights .
In this spun‑gold fiction, the Bulldogs stride through fall. The Marshall opener crackles with fresh promise. The Tennessee trip and prime‑time Alabama battle glow in broadcast highlight reels. The flexible home games—Kentucky tilt, Ole Miss dusk duel, Texas flex showdown—cascade through national TV strategies, the Bulldogs’ cadence shifting for optimal viewership. And each detail, each time, is etched: factual foundation vital to the energized narrative.
Meanwhile, the coaches lean in during film room sessions, mapping plays to TV slots; sports commentators rehearse their lines—“3:30 kickoff in Knoxville,” “prime‑time in Athens,” “day game in the Deep South”—every syllable synchronized with the official schedule. The winter of 2024, already sour with the playoff letdown, melts away under the rolling drumbeat of kickoff windows and TV cameras.
By campaign’s close, every flex game electrifies—perhaps Oct. 18 under fading light, Nov. 15 at dusk. The Bulldogs, riding this meticulously scheduled wave, hope to ride it all the way to January’s playoff stage.
This fictional account reflects the exact broadcast times and TV networks officially released as of today for Georgia’s 2025 games.
