Florida–Georgia Game at EverBank Will Feature New Entry Rules During Renovation

Officials urge early arrivals due to construction‑driven changes to security and ticketing.

Overview

  • City and stadium officials ask fans to arrive earlier than usual as construction introduces walk‑through magnetometers and self‑scan ticket kiosks, with gates opening at 1:30 p.m.
  • Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, at EverBank Stadium, with Florida designated as the home team on the west side and Georgia on the east.
  • RV City opened Tuesday in Lot E and is sold out, stadium parking is pre‑sold with lots opening at 8 a.m., and shuttle options include JTA’s Gameday Xpress and a free GEICO Game Day Shuttle serving Lots S, X, Z and Metropolitan Park.
  • The rivalry will relocate during renovations, with games scheduled for Atlanta in 2026 and Tampa in 2027 before a planned return to Jacksonville in 2028, and the SEC has kept Florida and Georgia as annual opponents.
  • Florida plays under interim coach Billy Gonzales after Billy Napier’s dismissal, and sportsbooks and models project Georgia as the favorite by roughly a touchdown.
