The ACC announced kickoff times for games scheduled to be play Sept. 21, including Georgia Tech’s matchup at Louisville.

The Yellow Jackets (2-1, 1-1 ACC) will take the field against the Cardinals at 3:30 p.m. The game will air on either ESPN or ESPN2.

Tech has only faced Louisville three times previously and only once in Louisville, a 66-31 win by the Jackets in 2018. Tech also won a 2020 matchup at Bobby Dodd Stadium before losing 39-34 in the 2023 season opener at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Louisville is currently ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press Top 25 after wins over Austin Peay and Jacksonville State, respectively. The Cardinals, which went 10-4 in 2023 and lost to Florida State in the ACC championship game, are off until the meeting with Tech.
