The City of Jacksonville is gearing up to host the annual Florida-Georgia football game on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. at EverBank Stadium. The University of Florida Gators will face off against the University of Georgia Bulldogs in one of the greatest college football rivalries.
Jacksonville eagerly anticipates the Florida-Georgia game, a tradition unlike any other on our city’s calendar. This storied rivalry, while fiercely competitive, serves as a powerful unifier for the community. The game brings together fans from both sides, creating one of the most unique settings in all of college football with the 50/50 stadium split.
The city extends its gratitude to the key partners—Legends Global, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO), Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department (JFRD), and Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA)—for their essential support. The passionate fans also play a crucial role, infusing the weekend with energy and transforming this rivalry into a shared experience that showcases Jacksonville's unity and highlights its vibrant community.
On game day, stadium parking lots will open at 8:00 a.m. All parking is pre-sold, and fans should ensure their parking hangtags are displayed as they approach the stadium. Gates to EverBank Stadium will open at 1:30 p.m., with kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to avoid last-minute gate pressure, which frequently occurs before kickoff. There will be magnetometers in place, enabling fans to walk through carrying their clear bag and leave their cell phone and keys in their pockets. After entering, fans will then proceed to the self-scan ticket kiosks to have their mobile tickets scanned. With construction in EverBank Stadium, guests are encouraged to utilize the ramp closest to their entry gate for direct access to the main and upper concourses and enter the stadium when gates open at 1:30 pm.
