Jacksonville Prepares to Host 2025 Florida-Georgia Football Game
Jacksonville, Florida, is finalizing preparations to host the annual Florida-Georgia football game on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. at EverBank Stadium, an event expected to draw tens of thousands of fans and generate significant economic activity for the city.
The longstanding rivalry between the University of Florida Gators and the University of Georgia Bulldogs will once again take center stage in Jacksonville, continuing a tradition that began in 1933 and is one of the few remaining neutral-site rivalries in college football. Stadium parking lots will open at 8:00 a.m., with gates opening at 1:30 p.m., and officials are urging fans to arrive early to navigate security measures, including magnetometers and mobile ticket scanning. Fans can find more information about the game and related events at flgajax.com.
Transportation options will be available through the Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s Gameday Xpress shuttle service, operating from 12:30 p.m. until 1.5 hours after the game, and a complimentary GEICO Game Day Shuttle Program will serve select parking locations. The city is also establishing six Information & First Aid Zones (IFAZ) presented by 988 Florida Lifeline, offering medical assistance, cell phone charging, and other resources throughout the sports complex. For up-to-date public safety and traffic information, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will provide updates on their website, jaxsheriff.org, and on Twitter @JSOPIO.
City officials expressed gratitude for the collaboration with key partners, including Legends Global, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees. The game represents a significant cultural and economic event for Jacksonville, showcasing the city’s hospitality and vibrant community.
