The future of the rivalry between the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators has been uncertain for several years. However, the schools solidified the future of the rivalry in 2024.

We now know where the Georgia-Florida rivalry will be played as EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida undergoes renovations during the 2026 and 2027 college football seasons. The city of Jacksonville will still pay Georgia and Florida $1.5 million each in 2026 and 2027. Additionally, we know that both schools received a significant increase in their payments after previously compensating approximately $5 million to $5.5 million per year.

Over the years, Georgia and Florida have played in Jacksonville the most times (91 of the first 102 meetings). It looks like the world's largest outdoor cocktail party is here to stay. Jacksonville makes a lot of sense for both schools as it sits between the two storied universities. Jacksonville is approximately a five and a half hour drive from Athens and an hour and a half from Gainesville.
