While the Georgia Bulldog football team gears up for Saturday’s game against the Vanderbilt Commodores, they learn the team’s 2022 football schedule: the opener is set for September 3 of next year in Atlanta vs the Oregon Ducks. Other non-conference opponents include Samford, Kent State, and the traditional rivalry against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

A season opener against Oregon in Atlanta, eight Southeastern Conference games and the annual tilt against Georgia Tech highlight the 2022 Georgia football schedule announced Tuesday by the SEC.
Georgia will host SEC contests against Auburn, Vanderbilt and Tennessee and will travel for league matchups against South Carolina, Missouri, Mississippi State and Kentucky. The Georgia-Florida game will take place Oct. 29 in Jacksonville.
The Bulldogs will open the season against Oregon on Sept. 3, 2022 in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. This will mark only the second time the two football programs have met. The one previous meeting resulted in a 27-16 home win for the Bulldogs in 1977.
