NORMAN — Georgia will visit Oklahoma in a marquee nonconference football game during the 2023 season, OU announced on Monday morning.

It’s the first game of a home-and-home series between the college football heavyweights. Georgia will visit Oklahoma on Sept. 9, 2023 and host the Sooners on Sept. 13, 2031.

There is significance between the 2023 game played inside Memorial Stadium. It is the 100th anniversary of the stadium site.

"(Athletics director) Greg McGarity and his staff at Georgia helped us navigate an unusual scheduling circumstance and we are grateful for the diligence and patience,” OU director of athletics Joe Castiglione said in a statement. “We understand the return game date is later than usual, but very much look forward to taking our program to Athens to play in one of the country's great venues.

“As we have said on many occasions, we understand our responsibility to college football fans and tradition to play iconic games. We welcome opportunities such as this one that reinforce our brand and celebrate the historically great programs."

It would be the first scheduled meeting between the schools since the Rose Bowl completed the 2017 season. The Bulldogs beat OU 54-48 in double overtime in College Football Playoff semifinal contest.
