The Georgia Bulldogs have a ever-changing future nonconference schedule. Georgia will some of the nation's elite college football programs over the years if things go as planned.

Conference realignment has thrown a wrench in some of Georgia's plans, but the Georgia fans can't complain too much. Georgia is slated to play at least 10 Power Four opponents in every season for the foreseeable future.

The Bulldogs are scheduled to play elite schools like Ohio State and Clemson over the next decade. Of course, Georgia is set to continue its annual rivalry with Georgia Tech through the 2037 season.

Georgia's future schedule is subject to change (including the dates and locations). The biggest factor that recently changed Georgia's future nonconference schedule was the SEC expanding to nine conference games beginning in 2026. Georgia can now only play three opponents in nonconference action as opposed to four.

Conference realignment can also always impact future schedules. Since this article focuses on Georgia's future schedule, we don't have UGA's 2026 schedule included. If you wish to look at Georgia's 2026 schedule, then we've included it here.

What nonconference opponents does Georgia football have scheduled for the future?

Georgia and the Louisville Cardinals no longer plan to play in 2026 and 2027 with the SEC expanding to a nine-game conference schedule. Georgia also cancelled a 2027 game with Florida State. Georgia's schedule remains as it currently is in 2027, then the Dawgs would face 10 Power Four opponents during the regular season. We'd expect for the Bulldogs to add a pair of cupcake opponents (non-Power Four) to complete their 2027 schedule.

Another thing to watch in 2027 is will Georgia Tech continue playing Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta when the Yellow Jackets have a home game?

  • Georgia cancelled 2028 games with Florida State and Florida A&M. However, Georgia and Florida State are in talks to schedule a 2028 neutral site game, which has been rumored to be in Nashville.

    Clemson and Georgia are scheduled to face each other in the regular season in 2029 for the first time since the 2024 season opener. The Georgia-Clemson game could be moved to a neutral site like Charlotte or Atlanta. As it stands, Georgia would be set to play at Clemson for the first time since 2013, which was the last time the Tigers beat Georgia. Georgia has won eight of the last nine games in the series.

    • Sept. 14: Ohio State Buckeyes (home)

    • Nov. 30: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (home)

    Something's got to give. Georgia can't schedule four nonconference opponents in 2030. That's guaranteed to change. We doubt Georgia will play Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia Tech in the same year, but man that would be a fun schedule. Ohio State has never played in Sanford Stadium.

    Georgia has also never played at Ohio State. This would be a really awesome road game for Dawgs fans and this is a better time of year (in terms of weather) to go to Ohio.

    Georgia plays its two biggest ACC rivals in 2032. UGA is set to play Clemson four times between 2029 and 2033. Time will tell if the two programs follow through with those plans.

    Georgia canceled a future series with NC State in 2033 and 2034. The Bulldogs are still scheduled to play two ACC opponents in 2033. The Dawgs would probably add a non-Power Four opponent to this schedule.

    2034 schedule and beyond

    Georgia Tech is the only team on Georgia's future schedule beyond 2034. Georgia is scheduled to play Tech through 2037. The only question is where will the two programs play each other in the future (home versus neutral site)? All of Georgia's future scheduled games are according to FBSchedules.com.
