FSU, Georgia football to play neutral site game

The FSU Seminoles and Georgia Bulldogs have agreed to play a neutral site game in 2028 after canceling their home-and-home series.

Big news for college football fans—the Florida State Seminoles and Georgia Bulldogs have officially agreed to meet on the gridiron in 2028 for a neutral-site showdown. This comes just after the two powerhouse programs canceled their previously scheduled home-and-home series, but instead of parting ways entirely, they've found a way to keep the rivalry alive in a single, high-stakes game.

Florida State Athletic Director Michael Alford first hinted at the possibility when the series was called off last week, expressing optimism that a neutral-site game could be worked out. On Tuesday, he made it official, confirming to On3's Brett McMurphy that the game is set for 2028. While the exact venue hasn't been decided yet, the list of potential host cities reads like a who's who of football hotspots: Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, and Tampa. Each brings its own electric atmosphere, from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to the Superdome in New Orleans, so fans can expect a memorable setting regardless of the final pick.

This matchup isn't just another game on the calendar—it's a chance to reignite a historic series. FSU and Georgia have faced off 13 times before, with the Bulldogs holding a 7-4-1 edge. Their most recent encounter was a lopsided affair in the 2023 Orange Bowl, where a depleted Seminoles squad struggled in Miami. But the regular-season history runs even deeper; these two haven't squared off during the regular season since 1965, making this a long-awaited return to tradition.

For Florida State, the 2028 season is still taking shape. They're slated to play nine ACC conference games, capped off with the annual rivalry clash against the Florida Gators in Tallahassee. That leaves two open non-conference slots, and this neutral-site game will fill one of them—likely adding some serious firepower to their schedule. For Georgia, it's another marquee non-conference test as they continue to build their playoff résumé.

Whether you're a Seminoles fan dreaming of a statement win or a Bulldogs supporter looking to extend the series dominance, this 2028 clash is already shaping up to be a can't-miss event. Stay tuned for the location announcement, and start planning your game-day gear now—because when two titans of college football collide, you'll want to be dressed for the occasion.
