The University of Florida football program enters a new chapter this Saturday as it hosts Florida Atlantic in the season opener at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. ET on the SEC Network, with the game also available for streaming on Fubo.
Florida has appointed Jon Sumrall as its head coach following a disappointing tenure under Billy Napier that resulted in a 4-8 record last season. Sumrall arrives after an impressive 2025 campaign at Tulane, where he compiled an 11-3 record and led the Hurricanes to the College Football Playoff. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic is in its second year under offensive coordinator-turned-head-coach Zach Kittley, whose debut season proved challenging with a 4-8 finish and defensive struggles that ranked among the nation’s worst.
This non-conference matchup marks the beginning of Sumrall’s tenure with the Gators, who are favored by 26.5 points. The game will take place at the iconic Swamp in Gainesville, where the stadium is expected to reach capacity for the 19th consecutive sellout.
Fans seeking to watch the contest can stream it through Fubo, which offers a free trial period for new subscribers and provides access to multiple college football broadcasts throughout the season.
