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

The game will be televised on ESPN, with kickoff time announced at a later date, according to a release from Tech.

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.
