TV channel, kickoff time for Colorado football vs. Georgia Tech

The Colorado Buffaloes are two days away from kicking off their 2026 football season. With Week 0 wrapping up last weekend, attention is entirely on a fascinating Week 1 slate.

Colorado vs. Georgia Tech is one of the top matchups of the weekend, which also includes Clemson at LSU, Louisville at Ole Miss, UCLA at Cal and Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame at Lambeau Field. It truly is a can’t-miss weekend.

The Buffaloes have a revamped coaching staff, highlighted by offensive coordinator Brennan Marion and 40-plus transfers, including a defense that could have 11 new starters.

After losing the opener to Georgia Tech in Boulder last year, Sanders’ squad is hoping for a better start to the 2026 campaign. A road win against the Yellow Jackets would be a major test passed by a new-look CU squad that has hopes of returning to a bowl game if not contending for the Big 12 title.

With two days left until kickoff, here is the time and full television information.
