A new annual college football series will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga., beginning in 2025, AMB Sports and Entertainment (AMBSE) announced Wednesday. The game will be dubbed the Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic.
The inaugural Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic will be played this fall as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets host the rival Georgia Bulldogs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The game is slated for Friday, Nov. 28, 2025 (Black Friday) and it will be televised by ABC at 3:30pm ET.
The 2026 edition of the Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic will feature the Georgia Bulldogs hosting the Florida Gators. Georgia and Florida are playing in Atlanta in 2026 and in Tampa, Fla., in 2027 due to renovations at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.
“Atlanta and Mercedes-Benz Stadium have long been recognized as a premier destination for college football, and the Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic is the latest opportunity for us to continue to build on our legacy of hosting world-class events” said Vice President of Stadium Events and Premium Sales for AMB Sports and Entertainment, Doug Roberts.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the home of the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL and the Atlanta United FC of MLS. The stadium has an seating capacity of 71,000 and is expandable to 75,000.
“The Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic represents the kind of forward-thinking and high-performance environment we’re proud to support,” says Brian Hartigan, Invesco’s Global Head of ETFs & Index Investments. “This series reflects Invesco QQQ’s commitment to innovation and excellence, which are values that resonate both on the field and in the work we do every day.”
“We’re proud to partner with Invesco QQQ to deliver an exceptional college football experience here in Atlanta,” said Nana-Yaw Asamoah, chief commercial officer at AMB Sports and Entertainment. “This innovative new partnership allows us and Invesco QQQ to showcase high-profile, nationally significant matchups to audiences across the country.”
Go Dog Go!!!
Pulling for Georgia Bulldogs in both games.
I am really tired of college football games moving to NFL stadiums and charging higher ticket prices. The Georgia Florida I understand is moving from one NFL stadium to another short term, but this looks to be an annual series for years to come.
There is higher price tickets at Campus Stadiums like Michigan & Georgia.
Thank goodness for Television to watch CFB games.
Totally agree. Let the campuses host these big games. But they really don’t care about us but as long as they keep feeding the pig–us—and we keep eating they will continue to do this.
as long as it gets SEC teams to play outside their conference early in the season, I like them!
Well the first two games were already scheduled for M-B Stadium, and one is a conference game. And both are around Nov. 1 or later.
Hank E I fully agree with you as a Georgia Bulldogs Fan I would not mind Georgia-Georgia Tech play early in season & have Georgia-South Carolina play on Thanksgiving weekend & speaking of South Carolina I like that along with Florida & Auburn to be Georgia protected opponents when SEC goes to a nine-game conference schedule.
