The in-state rivalry will be played in Gainesville on Nov. 30, 2019, and Nov. 27, 2021. The Seminoles will host the Gators in Tallahassee on Nov. 28, 2020, and Nov. 26, 2022.

Florida leads the all-time series 35-26-2, but the Seminoles have won seven of the last nine games.

The game has been the regular-season finale for both teams since 1977, except for 2001 and 2017 because of rescheduled opponents.

Florida snapped a five-game losing streak to FSU with a 41-14 win in Tallahassee last year.

The teams will meet Nov. 30 in Gainesville, where the Seminoles have won a school-record four in a row.
