ATHENS —Georgia football has a unique opportunity approaching to play three times in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in one season.

Atlanta was announced as the host for the 2025 CFP Championship Game following the 2024 season, replacing originally selected host Las Vegas.

The Bulldogs open the 2024 season on Aug. 31 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta against Clemson and could return there for the SEC Championship Game should they win the East Division.

The CFP Championship Game will be held on Jan. 6, 2025 in Atlanta after Las Vegas bowed out on account of the Consumer Electronics Show, which annually draws 200,000 to the city and fills hotel rooms, per a Stadium report.
