Over 37 years, ESPNโ€™s College GameDay has grown from a little-known in-studio cable TV show into a multimedia behemoth that routinely attracts more than two million viewers each week.

Which college football games will Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, and the rest of the GameDay crew visit in 2024?

Week 15: SEC Championship Game (Georgia vs. Texas)

The SEC Championship Game is the typical broadcast location for College GameDay on the first weekend in December, and indeed, ESPN will be back in Atlanta on Saturday for a rematch between Texas and Georgia.

Itโ€™s the fifth time since 2018 that the SEC Championship Game will be showcased over other potential games.

College GameDay Locations 2024

Week 14: Texas at Texas A&M

College GameDay headed back to College Station for a Texas vs. Texas A&M game with gigantic conference stakes.ย 

That alone would have been enough. But on top of the SEC implications, it was also a reignited rivalry game that had been on hiatus since the Aggies left the Big 12.ย 

Week 13: Indiana at Ohio State

Curt Cignettiโ€™s first year in Bloomington has been a feel-good story this season. GameDay headed back to Columbus for Indiana vs. Ohio State.

Week 12: Tennessee at Georgia

Tennessee could have cornered the inside track to the SEC Championship Game if it had beat Georgia in Week 12.ย 

Week 11: Alabama at LSU

For the College GameDay crew, it was Alabama vs. LSU for the 10th time since 2008.ย 

Week 10: Ohio State at Penn State

For the second time this year, Ohio State hit the road for a huge game with implications for both the Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff. This time, it was a much more classic Midwestern showdown: Ohio State vs. Penn State.ย 

Week 9: Washington at Indiana

Curt Cignetti had Indiana football undefeated at the end of October, and the Hoosiers have certainly served as one of the crazier elements of this 2024 season.ย 

Even with quarterback Kurtis Rourke sidelined for the game with a thumb injury, it was becoming too difficult to continue passing on Bloomington as a first-time show host.

Week 8: Georgia at Texas

GameDay camped out for the new SEC showdown, which might end up being the SEC Game of the Year.

Week 7: Ohio State at Oregon

They donโ€™t get much bigger than this one. Oregon scored an inside track to the Big Ten championship game.

Week 6: Miami at Cal

Nothing says ACC football like a spotlight on Berkeley, California. The College GameDay crew headed to Cal for the first time ever.

Week 5: Georgia at Alabama

This epic Week 5 game in Tuscaloosa featured the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs on the road against the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide, so it was hardly a surprise that College GameDay headed to a fifth straight game involving an SEC team.ย 

Week 4: Tennessee at Oklahoma

College football fans know that a major theme for the 2024 season is the movement of historic NCAA franchises to new conference homes. In Week 4, College GameDay capitalized on that by heading to the University of Oklahoma for its first-ever SEC game.ย 

Week 3: LSU at South Carolina

After South Carolinaโ€™s big win at Kentucky, College GameDay headed to Columbia for the first time in 10 years.

GameDay spurned several fascinating Week 3 rivalry games in favor of South Carolina, including Oregon at Oregon State and the Backyard Brawl between West Virginia and Pittsburgh.

Week 2: Texas at Michigan

Texas and Michigan both made the College Football Playoff in 2023, so naturally, this Week 2 matchup brought a highly anticipated game with both teams ranked in the preseason AP top 10.ย 

Week 1: Notre Dame at Texas A&M

ESPN passed on Georgia-Clemson and other major Week 1 matchups for a prime-time game in College Station.

Texas A&Mโ€™s second home game against Notre Dame will be their first home game with GameDay since September 2018. For the Irish, theyโ€™re now guaranteed to make at least one GameDay appearance for the eighth straight season.

Week 0: Georgia Tech vs. Florida Stateย 

Four years after College GameDayโ€™s first international broadcast was canceled โ€” for Notre Dame vs. Navy in Dublin โ€” the show finally made its long-awaited international debut.

The location was announced last December, locking in the first show outside the United States with Florida Stateโ€™s first appearance since 2020.
