Colorado vs. Georgia Tech: Game time, TV announced

The Colorado Buffaloes will continue to be in the national spotlight under Deion Sanders. The 2025 season opener against Georgia Tech has been selected for ESPN's national broadcast on August 29 at 8 p.m. ET. 

This marks the third consecutive year the Buffs have been featured in a major network's Upfront presentation, which is a showcase of premier content for advertisers. 

As part of ABC's Big 12 Upfront slate, Colorado joins a high-profile lineup that includes Iowa State vs. Kansas State in Dublin, Nebraska at Cincinnati, and TCU at North Carolina. 

This announcement continues an impressive streak for Colorado. The Georgia Tech opener will be the 14th straight contest broadcast on a major network or flagship ESPN, extending a program record.

In Coach Prime’s first two seasons, 21 of 25 games have been nationally televised. An unprecedented media platform for the Buffs, according to CU Athletics. 

CU has also bee showcased during the offseason. The Black and Gold spring game was nationally televised on ESPN platforms twice in the last three years, and their 2024 NFL Pro Day aired on NFL Network. These broadcasts show the widespread interest in Sanders' rebuild and the program’s rising national profile.

The 2025 opener also carries historic intrigue. While Colorado and Georgia Tech have never met, they famously split the 1990 national championship. 

This will be the first of a home-and-home series with Sanders and the Buffs heading to Atlanta next year.
