    It's almost time for history between the hedges. The Oklahoma Sooners travel to Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, September 26, 2026 in the first time the two programs have ever squared off at Sanford Stadium. It promises to be one of the most compelling games of the season for Bulldogs fans everywhere.

    As a member of the SEC since 2024, Oklahoma will bring their Big 12 legacy to the conference in this matchup against the SEC powerhouse, Georgia. With seven Heisman Trophy winners, including two last decade, and a dominant half-century of football in Norman, Oklahoma is a program that is known for producing quality football on the field. Georgia is also well known for their football success, having won back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships in 2021 and 2022. The Bulldogs are also riding an SEC-record 29-game winning streak and have the toughest home environment in college football in Sanford Stadium with the famous "Between the Hedges" hedges. Kickoff for this matchup is set for noon on Saturday, September 26.

    A win in the home debut for the Sooners would send a powerful message to the rest of the SEC. Sanford Stadium holds 92,746 fans and is famous for the "tradition-soaked environment" that is "Between the Hedges" at the hedges themselves. Oklahoma fans will experience the hostile environment for the first time. So while the Sooners have experienced "hostile environments" before, it will be a unique situation for this year's team.

    Tickets for the Oklahoma-Georgia game are available on Ticketmaster as well as secondary ticket markets such as StubHub and Vivid Seats. Currently, tickets for the game start at $245 for lower level sideline seats and go up to $291 for same seats on upper level. These premium seats are going quickly, so Bulldogs fans should look to purchase tickets for the game soon as it is considered one of the marquee home games for Georgia in the 2026 regular season. The game will be played at Sanford Stadium on the University of Georgia campus in Athens, GA.

    Whether you are a lifelong faithful of the Bulldogs' or simply a Georgia fan looking for that one game of the season to finally make the trip to Athens for, this will deliver all of what you have come to expect from the greatest game in all of college football: history, rivalry, all of the necessary stakes to matter, and lots of electricity, which the hedges and 92,000+ fans packed in to watch and cheer on their team will surely provide. Mark September 26 on your calendar, for it will be very loud in Athens that day.

    The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
