Florida football gets another Black Friday matchup with rival FSU

Florida football will close its 2026 regular season on the day after Thanksgiving, facing rival Florida State on Nov. 27 at 3:30 p.m. at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.

The game will air on ABC.

The Florida Gators and FSU also met in a Black Friday matchup in Tallahassee on Nov. 25, 2022, a game the Seminoles won 45-38 behind 2 touchdown runs and a touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Travis.

Florida holds an overall 39-28 edge in the series, with two games ending in a tie. UF has won the last two meetings between the two schools, including a 40-21 win at The Swamp on Nov. 29, 2025. In the win, Florida sophomore running back Jadan Baugh rushed for 266 yards and two TDs, posting the second-highest rushing total in a game in UF history. Only NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith (316 yards vs. New Mexico on Oct. 21, 1989) has rushed for more yards in a game in a Gator uniform.
