THE FLATS – Georgia Tech football’s highly anticipated 2025 season opener at Colorado on Friday, Aug. 29 will kick off at 8 p.m. ET (6 p.m. MT) and be televised nationally on ESPN. ESPN announced the kickoff times and television arrangements for 10 high-profile college football games during the 2025 Disney Upfront in New York on Tuesday.
The 8 p.m. time slot for this season’s opener marks the fourth-straight year that Georgia Tech will kick off its campaign in one of ESPN’s most visible early-season windows. The Yellow Jackets have kicked off the previous three seasons on Labor Day evening (2022 vs. Clemson), the first Friday night of the season (2023 vs. Louisville) and in the first college game of 2024, when they defeated No. 10 Florida State in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland.
Tech’s 24-21 win over FSU in the 2024 season opener was ESPN’s most-watched college football game of the 2024 regular season, with 4.99 million viewers. The Yellow Jackets also played in ESPN’s second-most-watched game of the ’24 regular season, a 28-23 triumph over No. 4 Miami (Fla.) that drew 3.46 million viewers. In all, Georgia Tech was the Atlantic Coast Conference’s most-watched team in 2024, with an average of 3.10 million viewers in games on Nielsen-rated networks.
Kickoff times for Georgia Tech’s first two home games of 2025 – Sept. 6 vs. Gardner-Webb and Sept. 13 vs. Clemson – are expected to be announced by the ACC and its television partners in the coming weeks.
