THE FLATS – Details are finalized for Georgia Tech football’s 2026 White & Gold Game, presented by Renasant, the Official Bank of Tech football, on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. and admission is FREE.
The White & Gold Game is the first opportunity for fans to see the 2026 Yellow Jackets in action as they prepare for their highly anticipated season.
Georgia Tech is coming off a historic 2025 season that concluded with a 9-4 overall record (tied for the 10th-most victories in Tech’s 133-season football history) and No. 24 final national ranking. The Jackets rose to as high as No. 7 in the national rankings in ‘25 and were ranked in the final 14 national polls of the season, which is their longest streak since Tech was ranked in all 16 polls in 1999.
Georgia Tech also went 6-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play in ‘25, which was good for a tie for second place in the 17-team conference. The Yellow Jackets are the only ACC team that has finished in the top four of the conference standings each of the last three seasons.
The Jackets’ 2026 roster features five returning all-ACC performers from last year’s 9-4 squad (PK Aidan Birr, OL Malachi Carney, LB Kyle Efford, RB Malachi Hosley and OL Ethan Mackenny) and 19 highly touted incoming transfers, headlined by RB Justice Haynes and QB Alberto Mendoza.
