South Alabama Football will travel to Florida to take on the Gators as part of its 2027 schedule.

The Jaguars and Gators will square off in Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, popularly known as "The Swamp", on Sept. 4, 2027. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools. South Alabama and Florida were slated to play in 2016 before the game was canceled due to Hurricane Matthew.

South has faced five SEC schools in its 16 years of football history. Most recently, the Jags visited Death Valley to play LSU in 2024. South will also make the short trip to take on Auburn as part of its upcoming 2025 schedule.

South Alabama will open the 2025 season in Hancock Whitney Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 30 against Morgan State.
