CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The spotlight is coming back to Coral Gables. ESPN announced Saturday night that
College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will be live from the University of Miami as the undefeated Hurricanes host the Florida Gators in a primetime Sunshine State showdown on Saturday, September 20, at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
This marks the 26th time Miami has played in a game featured on
GameDay and the ninth time as the host site. It will also be the fourth Miami–Florida matchup selected for
GameDay, joining the high-profile meetings in 2002, 2008 and 2019, and just the first in Coral Gables.
The Hurricanes will welcome
GameDay back to Coral Gables for the first time since September 26, 2020, when then-No. 12 Miami hosted Florida State.
GameDay continues to bring the nation’s top matchups into focus with unforgettable backdrops. Last season, the show made history by opening the 2024 campaign in Dublin, Ireland, at the
Aer Lingus College Football Classic between Florida State and Georgia Tech—the first international broadcast in show history.
GameDay also made its first-ever visit to Berkeley, California, for California’s ACC home game in program history versus Miami on October 5, 2024.
ACC football has been a frequent spotlight for the iconic show in recent years, with stops in Charlotte (2023 Duke’s Mayo Classic), Durham (2023 Duke vs. Notre Dame), Pittsburgh (2022 Backyard Brawl – Pitt vs. West Virginia) and Clemson (2022 vs. NC State).
