Florida football will close its 2026 regular season on the day after Thanksgiving, facing rival Florida State on Nov. 27 at 3:30 p.m. at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.
The game will air on ABC.
The Florida Gators and FSU also met in a Black Friday matchup in Tallahassee on Nov. 25, 2022, a game the Seminoles won 45-38 behind 2 touchdown runs and a touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Travis.
Florida holds an overall 39-28 edge in the series, with two games ending in a tie. UF has won the last two meetings between the two schools, including a 40-21 win at The Swamp on Nov. 29, 2025. In the win, Florida sophomore running back Jadan Baugh rushed for 266 yards and two TDs, posting the second-highest rushing total in a game in UF history. Only NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith (316 yards vs. New Mexico on Oct. 21, 1989) has rushed for more yards in a game in a Gator uniform.
