Georgia Tech’s home opener against Colorado has been flexed to Thursday, Sept. 3.

This will be the Yellow Jackets’ 30th Thursday night home game since joining the ACC in 1983. Tech’s most recent Thursday night win at Bobby Dodd was a come-from-behind victory over N.C. State in 2024.

Tech traveled to Colorado to open its 2025 football campaign. The Yellow Jackets defeated the Buffaloes 27-20.

Tech will follow the Colorado game by hosting Tennessee on Sept. 12.
