UF-Miami 2024 opener kickoff set for the Swamp

GAINESVILLE — Florida’s season opener with Miami is set for 3:30 p.m. Aug. 31 in the Swamp, the school announced.

A national TV audience on ABC will tune in for Game 1 of a home-and-home series — UM will host UF Sept. 20, 2025 — and first meeting between the schools since the Gators’ 24-20 win in Orlando to open 2019.

Each program pushes to return to past success behind embattled third-year coaches, Billy Napier in Gainesville and Mario Cristobal in Coral Gables.
