Gators vs. Seminoles 2022 Kickoff Time Announced

The Florida Gators and the Florida State Seminoles soccer groups have set the date and time for this system’s annual Sunshine Showdown, the 66th in historical past between the in-state rivals. This 12 months’s matchup will happen in Tallahassee, Fla. after UF narrowly defeated FSU final 12 months, 24-21 in Gainesville, Fla. 

The matchup, which can happen on Friday, Nov. 25, is about for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on ABC, ESPN/Disney introduced Monday. The workforce packages have confronted off 65 instances of their recorded historical past, with Florida proudly owning the all-time report at 36-26-2. The Gators final visited the Seminoles in 2018 and gained 41-14 at Doak Campbell Stadium.

Florida’s final regular-season matchup that didn’t happen on a Saturday was in opposition to Mississippi State in Starkville, Miss. on Thursday, Oct. 1, 1992. The FSU matchup will even be the primary regular-season Friday night sport for the Gators since Oct. 6, 1961, after they defeated Tulane in New Orleans, La.

The Gators are heading into this season with new hope after transferring on from head coach Dan Mullen and hiring former Louisiana HC Billy Napier to steer the ship, following a dreadful 2021 season that noticed Mullen fired earlier than the season ended. Mullen’s employees let go shortly following the conclusion of the workforce’s 6-7 12 months.

The Seminoles, in the meantime, are coming into the third season of Mike Norvell’s tenure as head coach with raised expectations as he has compiled an 8-12 report during the last two years.
