South Carolina vs. No. 1 Georgia: Kickoff Time and TV Channel Announced

The SEC announced on Nov. 9, 2026, that South Carolina’s Week 12 home matchup against No. 1 Georgia will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Nov. 21 at Williams-Brice Stadium, with a live broadcast on ABC.

Prime-time lights are headed to Columbia. The Southeastern Conference locked in the television window and start time for one of the most anticipated late-season clashes on the calendar.

The Stakes at Williams-Brice

The No. 24 Gamecocks enter this stretch holding a 6-3 overall record and a 4-3 mark in conference play, riding a four-game winning streak. They face a monumental test against the Bulldogs, who sit at 8-1 overall and 6-1 in the SEC. Georgia climbed back to the top spot in the country following a 42-7 victory at Ole Miss.

History favors the visitors in this Southeastern Conference rivalry. South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer holds an 0-3 record against Georgia, with their most recent meeting resulting in a 24-14 loss in Athens back in 2023. The Bulldogs hold a 55-19-2 advantage in the all-time series and currently carry a four-game win streak.

The Gamecocks last defeated Georgia in 2019. They have not secured a home win against the Bulldogs since 2014.

Before the Bulldogs Arrive

South Carolina cannot look too far ahead on the schedule. The team first travels to Fayetteville to take on Arkansas on Nov. 14 in a game slated for a 7:45 p.m. ET kickoff on the SEC Network. The Razorbacks enter that matchup at 3-6 overall and 1-5 in conference play.

Quarterback health remains a central storyline for the Gamecocks. Star quarterback LaNorris Sellers is expected to take the field against Arkansas after pushing through an ankle injury suffered in the second quarter of a hard-fought 17-9 win over Texas A&M. Meanwhile, Georgia hosts Missouri in Week 11 before making the trip to Columbia for the Nov. 21 showdown.
