The University of Florida and University of Georgia have agreed to a new five-year contract extension to keep its annual matchup in Jacksonville through 2021.
“We could not be more excited about our continued partnership with two of the nation’s finest universities,” Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry said in a release. “Our new agreement further strengthens the Georgia-Florida tradition we have enjoyed here in Jacksonville for 83 years. The legendary rivalry continues and the best is yet to come.”
The Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs have played their annual rivalry in Jacksonville since 1933 (aside from 1994-95 when construction moved the game to each university).
