2026 Florida Football Schedule: Television Time Windows for Season
Florida fans can start planning out all of their football Saturdays. After game times were announced for the Gators’ first three games of the season, the SEC and ESPN announced television time windows for the remaining games on the slate.
Exact kickoff times and network designations will be released no later than six days before each game during the regular season.
Unlike the 2025 schedule that didn’t feature any noon games, three games are slotted to start between 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. in 2026, including Florida’s homecoming game on Oct. 10 vs. South Carolina. The additional afternoon games are Oct. 17 at Texas and Nov. 21 vs Vanderbilt.
Three of Florida’s games —Sept. 26 vs Ole Miss, Oct. 3 at Missouri and Nov. 7 vs Oklahoma — have flex times of 3:30-4:30 p.m. or 6-8 p.m.
The Gators’ annual neutral-site game against Georgia takes place in Atlanta Oct. 31 at 3:30 p.m. Florida plays its other SEC rival, Kentucky, on the road Nov. 14 with a start time between 6-8 p.m.
Jon Sumrall will make his Swamp debut in the season opener against Florida Atlantic at 7:45 p.m. on Sept. 5. The Gators’ week two home matchup against Campbell starts at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 12. Their first road game against Auburn on Sept. 19 kicks off at 7 p.m.
Florida first revealed the start time of 3:30 p.m. against Florida State in May. The matchup is scheduled for Nov. 27 in Tallahassee.
