Southeastern Conference rivals Ole Miss and Georgia will meet in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Thursday, January 1, 2026, in the Caesars Superdome. The sixth-seeded Rebels defeated No. 11 Tulane, 41-10, in Oxford on Saturday afternoon in a College Football Playoff First-Round Game to advance to the Playoff Quarterfinals. Georgia, which earned the No. 3 overall seed after winning the SEC Championship, had a first-round bye.
The Allstate Sugar Bowl is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. (Central) and will be televised by ESPN.
The Sugar Bowl Committee encourages fans looking to purchase tickets to visit Ticketmaster as the official verified resale platform of the 2026 Playoff Quarterfinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Also available are multiple premium seating options.
“We knew we would have a tremendous match-up no matter who won the CFP First-Round Game,” said Dottie Reese, the President of the Sugar Bowl Committee. “We’re confident that having two of the best teams from the SEC facing off here in the Sugar Bowl will be a memorable event for our local fans, the supporters of the schools, and college football fans across the country.”
Georgia (12-1, 7-1 SEC) earned the No. 3 seed from the College Football Playoff Selection Committee following its 28-7 victory over Alabama in the SEC Championship game on Dec. 6. The Bulldogs, who will be making their 13th Sugar Bowl appearance (tied for the second-most in history), will be the 97th conference champion to play in the Sugar Bowl in its 92-year history.
Ole Miss (12-1, 7-1 SEC), which posted the program’s first-ever 11-win regular season this year, will be making its 11th trip to the Sugar Bowl (fourth most all-time) and its first since the 2021 season.
