Georgia’s season opener against Tennessee State won’t be on TV, so anyone wanting to watch Kirby Smart’s No. 3 UGA football team Between the Hedges will need to stream it.
The game will be available on SEC Network+ or ESPN+, and that’s the only way to see it live. It will not air on cable television, though it is scheduled to be replayed later in the week on SEC Network.
If you already get SEC Network through your cable subscription, you can log in with those credentials and stream the game. That access also works through the ESPN App on smartphones, tablets, connected streaming devices, or at espn.com/watch. You can also watch on a computer, tablet, cell phone or smart TV, as long as you have the proper login information ready ahead of time.
If you do not have SEC Network, you can purchase ESPN+ to watch. SEC Network+ does not require an ESPN+ subscription; it is included with SEC Network and is described as a complementary digital offering with exclusive events.
ESPN+ is a separate service and requires its own subscription. It offers live sports, original programming and exclusive content, and fans can sign up for $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year at ESPN.com, ESPNplus.com, or through the ESPN App. It is also included in The Disney Bundle, which gives access to Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu for $13.99 per month with ads or $19.99 per month without ads.
If you need your cable login details, you’ll want to contact your provider before game day.

Georgia QB Battle Is Heating Up As Stetson Bennett Turns Heads
Stetson Bennett keeps finding ways to stay part of the Georgia conversation, even while he is wearing a different uniform. The former Bulldogs quarterback started and played the first half for the Rams in their second preseason game, showing plenty of command and also making an impact on the ground with a pair of rushing scores. Back in Athens, Georgia held its second fall scrimmage and the offense looked sharper than it did a week earlier, a welcome sign as the Bulldogs continue sorting out the depth chart behind Gunner Stockton.
Stockton remains the starter, but the more interesting battle right now may be for the backup job, where Ryan Puglisi and Ryan Montgomery are pushing each other through camp. With Ty Simpson handling the second half for the Rams and turning in a less effective outing, Bennetts strong showing only adds another layer to the quarterback discussion Georgia fans are following closely. The top of the room is settled for now, but the next step in the race is still very much in motion. [Read more 🡒]
Georgia Fans Will Love David Pollacks New Take On Texas
David Pollack has been around enough college football to know the difference between legitimate buzz and empty preseason noise, and his latest read on Texas lands squarely in the first category. The former Georgia linebacker said the Longhorns deserve the attention coming their way entering the 2026 season, pointing to a roster he sees as loaded and a team that ought to carry itself like a contender instead of leaning on excuses.
His comments also carried a clear contrast with the way he viewed Texas a year earlier, when he thought the hype outpaced the results. This time, Pollack is tying the conversation to Arch Manning and the expectations that come with a program built to win big, making it clear that anything short of a high-level run will be treated as a missed opportunity.

Stetson Bennett Still Faces One Big Rams Problem After Strong Showing
Stetson Bennetts second preseason game with the Rams gave him a much-needed boost, but it did not really settle the bigger question hovering over his season. He played well enough to remind the team why he has hung around the quarterback conversation, even as Los Angeles continues to map out a future that appears to have Ty Simpson at the center of it.
Bennett is still working against the reality of a quarterback room with a first-round pick waiting in the wings, and his own contract is set to expire after this season. Every strong outing helps his case, whether that means sticking with the Rams or making himself more appealing elsewhere, but the path forward remains murky until the team decides how it wants to handle its long-term plans under center.
