Follow along daily as we count down to a new season.
Georgia Tech and Louisville will meet in the newly dubbed Aflac Kickoff game Sept. 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The annual game, one of the first of the college football season, had been sponsored by Chick-fil-A since 2008.
Fortune 500 insurance giant Aflac has agreed to become the new title sponsor to the Kickoff game, signing a three-year deal to lend its name to the annual September event, the company told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an exclusive interview.
Chick-fil-A will continue to sponsor the Peach Bowl.
This year’s Kickoff game featuring Tech and Louisville will start at 7:30 p.m. and air on ESPN. Future Aflac Kickoff games are scheduled to include Clemson vs. Georgia in 2024, followed by Virginia Tech vs. South Carolina and Syracuse vs. Tennessee in 2025.
