THE FLATS – ESPN’s College Gameday, college football’s premier pregame show, will be on site in Dublin, Ireland for Georgia Tech’s 2024 season opener versus Florida State in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. The game, which will air on ESPN platforms, is set for Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024 at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
The selection of Georgia Tech-Florida State for the first College Gameday of the 2024 season marks the first time that the show will originate from a Tech game since the Yellow Jackets’ 2019 opener at Clemson and the seventh time overall that the Jackets are featured on the program. It will also mark the first time that Gameday has ever originated from outside of the United States.
“We couldn’t be more excited that College Gameday will make its first-ever international trip for our 2024 season opener in Ireland,” Georgia Tech director of athletics J Batt said. “The presence of College Gameday is a great opportunity to showcase the Institute, our football program and the direction of the Yellow Jackets under Brent Key. It’s just another great reason to make your plans today to join us in Dublin in August as we kick off the 2024 season against a great ACC opponent in Florida State.”
