Gators home game weekends in Gainesville, 2026

There are 6 home gamesat Ben Hill Griffin Stadium this season. A home Saturday is the busiest the city gets all year. This page lists every home game weekend with the opponent, the kickoff time when it has been announced, and a link into that weekend's full events calendar, so you can plan the whole trip and not just the three hours in the stadium.

The 2026 home schedule

Home games only. Kickoff times are shown as announced by the conference; several are still Time TBA this far out, and this page says so rather than guessing. Away and neutral-site games are not listed here because the crowd is not in Gainesville those weekends.

How to use this on a game weekend

I am Robbie Jack, a UF alumnus, and I built gainesvilleflorida.com. On a home Saturday the whole city moves around kickoff. Restaurants near campus fill early, downtown and midtown run later, and the events on the rest of the weekend are the difference between a good trip and a long tailgate.

Each game above links to that weekend's calendar: the live music, food and drink, family, and free events across Alachua County for that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is the same nightly-refreshed data as the rest of the site, filtered to the game weekend. You can also browse the football category for every football event in the calendar.

Kickoff times come from the conference and are filled in here as they are announced. When a time is not set yet the schedule shows Time TBA. I do not invent a kickoff time to fill the gap.
