Florida football’s 2025 schedule gained some clarity on Wednesday when ESPN and the SEC Network announced seven kickoff windows for the fall campaign.
Of those seven matchups, six have received a “flex” designation, which means that the start time could fall anywhere from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET. The seventh — the Gators’ homecoming game against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Oct. 18 — will take place, with kickoff slated either at 3:30 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. ET, depending on how things shake out.
Florida’s Week 4 matchup against the Miami Hurricanes in Coral Gables remains without a kickoff window or television designation. However, the first three games of the season — as well as the annual rivalry battle in Jacksonville against the Georgia Bulldogs — already have their times and broadcast details set in stone.
Take a look below at a listing of kickoff windows announced by ESPN and the SEC Network for Florida football’s 2025 schedule.
