ATHENS – UGA Football will be back in prime time on ABC – this time against the No. 1 Texas Longhorns.

The SEC announced Monday that the Bulldogs will face No. 1 Texas at 7:30 p.m., likely reflecting two upsets suffered by Alabama and Tennessee on Saturday. The Tide’s shocking 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt was the talk of the weekend, but the Vols narrowly lost to Arkansas.

This is Georgia’s fourth appearance on ABC so far in 2024. Games with the Gators and Georgia Tech mean UGA Football will play at least six games on ABC this season. Contests with Ole Miss and Tennessee will also likely be on ABC.

Both losses made it impossible for ABC to host a matchup of undefeated top five teams on the third Saturday in October. This game begins at 3:30 on ABC and leads into the Georgia-Texas game.

ABC could have its biggest Saturday audience in some time with the marquee matchups. The Dawgs, Vols, Tide and Horns are all in the top ten heading into this important matchup.

Georgia faces Mississippi State this Saturday in Athens. Texas plays Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry in Dallas. Both games start in the afternoon.
