Harkening back to the golden years, ESPN’s College Gameday pregame show will broadcast live from the University of Tennessee’s campus for the Florida game.
The show hasn’t aired in Knoxville since 2016. The longest-running and most celebrated pregame show airs live on ESPN from 9 a.m. to noon EST on Saturdays. Live shots will also take place Friday for various ESPN programming and on Saturday morning’s SportsCenter prior to the show. The broadcast location has not yet been announced. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS from a sold-out Neyland Stadium.
It marks the 10th time that Tennessee will host College GameDay and the 22nd time that the Vols have appeared on college football’s most popular pregame show. Tennessee’s players were already aware of the pending broadcast before the announcement went public.
Saturday marks the ninth Tennessee-Florida game that College GameDay has broadcast from. The series is tied for the third-most frequently visited matchup by the show, trailing only Alabama-LSU (11) and Ohio State-Penn State (11). Alabama-Georgia has also been a part of nine broadcasts.
