ATLANTA —

Georgia Tech’s 2026 football schedule is set, and it leans heavily on homefield advantage.

The Atlantic Coast Conference released the Yellow Jackets’ 12-game regular-season slate Monday, highlighted by seven games at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field — the program’s most home dates since 2019. Tech won 10 of its last 11 home games during a historic 2025 campaign and will look to carry that momentum into the new season.

The home schedule opens with back-to-back nonconference matchups against Colorado on Sept. 5 and longtime rival Tennessee on Sept. 12. It will be Colorado’s first-ever trip to Atlanta, one year after Tech beat the Buffaloes 27-20 in Boulder. Tennessee visits Bobby Dodd Stadium for the first time since 1986, renewing a rivalry that last met in 2017.

Georgia Tech also hosts in-state foe Mercer on Sept. 19 before conference play brings defending ACC champion Duke to Atlanta on Oct. 10. Additional ACC home games include Boston College (Oct. 24), Louisville (Nov. 7) and Wake Forest (Nov. 21), with both Louisville and Wake Forest making their first visits to The Flats in several years.

The Yellow Jackets open ACC road play with their first-ever trip to Stanford on Sept. 26, marking Tech’s first regular-season game in California since 1969. The Jackets have faced Stanford twice before, both in bowl games, winning the 1991 Aloha Bowl and the 2001 Seattle Bowl. Head coach Brent Key was a graduate assistant on that 2001 staff.

Tech’s conference road slate also includes trips to Virginia Tech (Oct. 17), Pitt (Oct. 31) and Clemson (Nov. 14) before closing the regular season at Georgia on Nov. 28. The visit to Pitt will be Tech’s first since a 2022 win that marked Key’s debut as interim head coach.

Georgia Tech enters 2026 looking to build on a 9-4 season in 2025, which tied for the 10th-most wins in program history and ended with a No. 24 national ranking. The Yellow Jackets finished tied for second in the ACC at 6-2 and are the only conference program to place in the league’s top four in each of the past three seasons.

Winter workouts are underway, with spring practice set to begin in March. Details for Tech’s spring schedule and annual White and Gold Game will be announced at a later date.
