2026-27 TICKET INFORMATION
ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia will face Boston College at Stegeman Coliseum on Tuesday, Dec. 1 as part of the SEC/ACC Challenge, ESPN announced on Friday.
This will be the fourth edition of the Challenge. After the leagues split their 14 men's meetings in 2024, the SEC went 14-2 in 2025 and 9-7 last season to build a 30-16 advantage.
Georgia is a perfect 3-0 in its Challenge outings. In 2024, the Bulldogs rallied from a 17-point deficit to defeat Florida State, 68-66, in Tallahassee. The following season, Georgia defeated Notre Dame, 69-48, at Stegeman season. Last December, the Bulldogs returned to Florida State and thumped the Seminoles, 107-73.
The Bulldogs and Eagles have only met once before. On Dec. 26, 1968, Boston College defeated Georgia, 89-83, in the first round of the Gator Bowl Classic in Jacksonville, Fla.
The date between the Bulldogs and Eagles is one of 11 games on Dec. 1, including Arkansas at North Carolina, Auburn at Clemson, Duke at Florida, BC at UGA, Wake Forest at LSU, Pitt at Missouri, Syracuse at Oklahoma, Ole Miss at Virginia Tech, South Carolina at N.C. State, Florida State at Tennessee and Texas at Louisville. The six outings on Dec. 2 are Alabama at Miami, Kentucky at Virginia, Georgia Tech at Mississippi State, Stanford at Texas A&M and Vanderbilt at Notre Dame. Tip times and television network assignments for all 16 games will be announced at a later date.
Georgia is coming off a record-setting season in 2025-26. The Bulldogs won their most regular-season games ever (22) and also broke program bests for points scored (2,951) and scoring average (89.4 ppg).
That continued an impressive and steady growth Georgia has enjoyed during four seasons under head coach Mike White. Most notably, the Bulldogs have earned back-to-back NCAA Tournament bids in 2025 and 2026, just the fourth time they've ever done so. Georgia also has reached the 20-win mark in each of the past three seasons, just the third time in 121 seasons the Bulldogs have accomplished that feat.
The Bulldogs' 2026-27 roster is set, headlined by four returning starters – seniors Blue Cain and Marcus "Smurf" Millender, junior Kanon Catchings and sophomore Kareem Stagg. In addition, Georgia will welcome nine newcomers – five transfers and four freshmen.
Georgia's schedule for the upcoming season will include 18 regular-season home games – nine non-conference matchups and nine SEC dates. Information on season tickets can be found here.
