The Aflac Kickoff Game, held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, is recognized as the official beginning of the college football season. This is the college football excitement fans have come to expect from the city of Atlanta. 

Aflac is the new title sponsor of the FBS college football kickoff game in Atlanta. The game was created by the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, in partnership with ESPN to open the college football season by matching two top teams in the best neutral-site game of the first weekend of every season. 

Tailgate Town is a must-do on game day with loads of pre-game fun. Visit International Plaza, located just outside the stadium’s front door, where you’ll find activities, contests, giveaways and tailgating staples. 

And during your visit to Atlanta, don’t miss special pricing on attraction tickets during game week at the Georgia Aquarium and College of Football Hall of Fame in Downtown Atlanta, and Zoo Atlanta in Atlanta’s Eastside.
