Where Can You Watch Florida’s Spring Game?

Florida football is back, and Gator fans are heavily anticipating the debut of its newest iteration under first-year coach Jon Sumrall at the 2026 Orange & Blue Spring game on Saturday. 

Where can you watch? In Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Nowhere else. Because, for the second year in a row, the game will not be televised or livestreamed. 

That follows a league-wide trend of keeping spring games low-profile. Among the Power Four programs, four teams are televising through subscription services, and only seven teams are broadcasting on linear TV. All seven come from the Big Ten, and their games will broadcast only on the Big Ten Network. No schools are broadcasting on a major sports network. 

This trend can be attributed to the fear of opposing teams studying spring film and catching on to plays and schemes. Simply put, coaches now just don’t want spring film to be available for anyone to see.

As seen in recent years, some teams have completely done away with spring games altogether. However, for Florida’s Jon Sumrall, he just wants his team to play: “Everybody is different how they want to approach it. I’m not knocking or judging if somebody doesn’t want to do a spring game, that’s their call. The mindset I want our team to have is like, we are always ready to go play, and we will never back down from playing.”

Kickoff for the annual Orange & Blue game is set for 12 p.m. Saturday.
