ESPN’s College GameDay kicked off for the 2024 college football season in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday. The premier college football pregame show was held outside the shores of the United States for the first time as it covered the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.
This is the 36th season of the pregame show in college football and it continues to be an important part of the landscape. ESPN started the show in 1987 and it has become a treasured event across campuses.
Where is College GameDay Week 1?
The show returns to campus in Week 1 as college football fully takes off across the entire country. According to host Rece Davis, the next edition of College GameDay will take place in College Station, Texas, as No. 20 Texas A&M hosts No. 7 Notre Dame at Kyle Field.
