All three Chick-fil-A Kickoff games canceled in 2020


Jul 30, 2020, 10:28 AM

All three Chick-fil-A Kickoff games for the 2020 season have been canceled, Gary Stokan, the CEO & President of Peach Bowl, Inc., confirmed on Wednesday.

The Chick-fil-A Kickoff was set to feature three contests featuring teams from the ACC, Big 12, and SEC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. West Virginia was set to take on Florida State on Saturday, Sept. 5. Two more games would have followed — Georgia vs. Virginia on Labor Day and Auburn vs. North Carolina on Saturday, Sept. 12.

The games were canceled following an announcement by the ACC on Wednesday that they will play 10 conference opponents and only one non-conference opponent. The non-conference opponent has to be played in the state of the ACC team, per the mandate, which eliminated all three kickoff contests.

It’s currently unknown whether any of the contests will instead be played at the home of the ACC opponents, but’s it’s highly unlikely at this point.

Since Georgia and FSU both have their rivalry game, They can't play Virginia and West Virginia....they will play GaTech and Fla. So, the only one that can still be played is Auburn and UNC (their rivalry game is in conference).

The ACC also said that the non-conference games had to be played in the home state of the ACC school so the UNC AUB game in ATL won’t work either. The only option would have been to move it to CLT but there’s already a kickoff game (previously scheduled anyway) between Wake and ND at BOA.
