The 2019 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game between Duke and No. 2 Alabama will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 31 from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This year’s matchup will be nationally telecast by ABC.
“We look forward to welcoming another national television audience to the Capital of College Football for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game,” said Gary Stokan, Peach Bowl, Inc.
