Clemson has played in three of the last four College Football Playoff National Championship Games, winning two, including this past season's title over Alabama. Georgia played in the 2019 national championship and has won 24 games the last two seasons, including the 2017 SEC Championship.

“We think it’s going to be a tremendous, blockbuster game,” said Gary Stokan, president and CEO of Peach Bowl Inc., which operates the annual kickoff game. “You’ve got to believe the 2024 game will be between Top 5 teams the way Georgia and Clemson are recruiting and performing on the field.”

The agreement provides several other perks for the participating teams, including complimentary hotel rooms, suite and bench passes, parking passes and tickets to the College Football Hall of Fame.

The 2024 game will mark Georgia’s fifth appearance in Atlanta’s annual season-opening event. The Bulldogs will open the 2022 season against the Oregon Ducks at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. They previously participated in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff against Boise State in 2011, North Carolina in 2016 and Virginia in 2020.
