ESPN Announces College GameDay Destinations For First 2 Weeks
ESPN has revealed its first two College GameDay locations for the 2021 season, including a Week 0 trip that will mark a first for the popular show.
The GameDay crew will start things off with a journey to Atlanta for the Week 0 matchup between North Carolina Central and Alcorn State on August 28. It will be the first time the show will visit the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge Kickoff game.
The following week, GameDay will be in Charlotte, as expected, for the much-anticipated Week 1 battle between Clemson and Georgia. This game could feature two teams ranked in the preseason top five and figures to have College Football Playoff implications.
Clemson-Georgia will take place at 7:30 p.m. ET on September 4 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. ABC will broadcast the action.
