The SEC released the 2020 schedules for its 14 members Wednesday afternoon, and the big game on the Georgia Bulldogs’ schedule is a game at Alabama on Sept. 19.

Also, next season features the move of the Auburn game from its traditional November date. The Bulldogs will play host to the Tigers on Oct. 10. The teams haven’t played a game before November since Oct. 24, 1936 — and most years since they have played in mid-November.

The Bulldogs will open next season in a Chick-fil-A Kickoff game on Labor Day night against Virginia. The Bulldogs then play their home opener against East Tennessee State on Sept. 12, before heading to Tuscaloosa the following weekend.

Georgia’s other non-conference games are home games against Louisiana-Monroe (Sept. 26) and Georgia Tech (Nov. 28).

Georgia’s bye week comes the week before the Bulldogs travel to Jacksonville for their annual rivalry game against Florida.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
