Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles to move college football rivalry game to Friday after Thanksgiving in 2022

For only the second time in the rivalry's history, the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles will not be playing on a Saturday, as the game in 2022 has been moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Florida State on Monday released its 2022 schedule, with the Seminoles slated to host the Gators at Doak Campbell Stadium in prime time on Friday, Nov. 25.

"Hosting Florida in primetime on the Friday during the Thanksgiving holiday allows us to showcase this great rivalry and our community on a day that has historically drawn huge television viewership," FSU athletic director Michael Alford said in a statement.
